summer vacation

it only took nine years, but i'm finally taking that backpacking trip around europe i had planned to do after high school.

the itinerary is flexible, but currently it looks something like this:

* italy: july 16-21: rome, florence, venice, various cities in between
* france: july 22-27 the riviera, the alps, paris, maybe corsica
* spain: july 28 - august 3: barcelona, madrid, seville, cadiz
* ireland: august 4-7: dublin interlaced with day trips to nearby cities
* england: august 8-12: london, oxford
* italy: august 13: rome again briefly, before flying back to japan

i'll be traveling with my best friend sarah until august 7th, and then i'll be on my own for the last six days -- though i hope to meet up with friends of friends while in england.

i'm going to celebrate my birthday in the south of france!

this is a test of the angie backpacking system. if it goes well i might travel southeast asia next summer.

but first -- i'll be home for christmas.
