Tales of a Wanderer

Okay, I admit, I've hit a bit of a blogging wall...

I'm on vacation! I'm enjoying it for the most part, but I did hit a low point at the one month mark. I know, stop your sob story because you're on vacation and in Europe and it doesn't matter that the dollar is at a record low.

Well you're absolutely right! I'm having a great time. So far Paris and Rome are the favorite big cities (too bad I skipped Florence because everyone says that was their favorite, doh!) and Munich is the best overall city experience from the bike tours to the beer to the beautiful setting...my twin sister would agree, she spent a semester here. No wonder she liked it so much!

I'm becoming aware now that I have less than 3 weeks of time before I go home - it's very bittersweet, but let me tell you - laundry, a bathroom and several other daily accomodations will be much appreciated upon return.

I had a guy look at a picture from me at my first week in Athens, and he looked at me and said, "whoa, that doesn't even look like you!" yep, i've lost weight, i've tightened the belt, and I'm banking on baklava in Turkey on the last leg to return some body fat after the long trek.

Tomorrow - Budapest! With more history than a jurassic layer, I look forward to having my fill in the national history museum and then soak it all in with the natural thermal baths which maintain a steady 111 degree temperature!

More to come soon!! Pictures are a necessity I know.
