I'm baaack!

Three weeks ago today I left on what would end up being the most adventurous, incredible, unbelievable trip of my life. Four countries later, I am back in Brighton for a few days before ending my break in Copenhagen.

There is no way I can possibly begin to tell you about my trip. Brief summaries would not do it justice, and trying to tell every detail would result in marathon entries that still probably wouldn't do it justice. So, I am going to attempt neither, and this is where you, dear readers, come in.

There must be a reason that you have been faithfully reading my blog, or at least skimming an entry or two, for the past three months. There must be specific things that you want to know about. Therefore, I am going to base my writing about my trip on your questions. Feel free to leave a comment, send me an e-mail, etc. with your questions about what I have experienced over the past three weeks. To get you started, here's a summary of my travels:

-I started with a trip to Greece and Italy with four other study abroad students at Sussex, Rachael, Deepa, Jill and Reva, three of whom also go to Wash U. We spent a day in Athens, about two and a half days in Santorini, four days in Rome, three days in Florence (with a brief trip to Pisa), and a soggy day in Venice.

-from Venice, I became my own travel buddy and went to Germany. There I stayed in Hamburg for four days with Marieke, German girl who was an exchange student at my high school for a year and her family. From Hamburg I went to Darmstadt, which is close to Frankfurt, to visit Jennifer, a friend from elementary/middle/high school who is studying there for the semester. She and I took a day trip with a few of her friends to Heidelberg.

-After Germany I flew to Paris, where I stayed with Maryse, a friend from Wash U and her host family. I took the Eurostar from Paris to London and another train from London to Brighton this morning/afternoon.

I took 542 pictures, which my dad will be amused to know actually does average out to a little more than 25 pictures a day. For those of you who have Facebook, the pictures will be up soon. Now it's your turn. Ask away about my adventures, and depending on how soon I hear from you/how many questions you ask, I'll start writing in the next few days.
