Europe
I went backpacking through Europe last summer (2005) just before coming to Pitt. In two months, I tried to see every sight and visit every interesting place. I didn't spend more than four days in any one city, but, as I quickly discovered, each new destination inspired ten more. I'm planning on going back if I can allocate the time to do so, but I've got to do before I turn 26 and the price goes up. Here are some highlights from two months of European culture. For a detailed account of my trip, you can read the blog I kept as I was traveling here.
London
I wanted to ease into my trip knowing that I could communicate with most of the people around me; so I started off in merry ol' England. Flying into Heathrow was also the cheapest way to go.
Paris
Cannes
Chinque Terre
Rome
Linz
Prague
Copenhagen
Honduras
Over Thanksgiving break last year (2005), I accompanied a church group from back home to Choluteca, Honduras for ten days of missionary work.
