Planning trips!

I am trying to figure out all the traveling I am going to do during the semester. So far I have:

A Coruña- The second largst city in Galicia (the region we live in Spain) that is on the Atlantic Ocean coastline. We are going next weekend for a few days.. Its only a 5 euro train ride and I really want to see the ocean!

Andalucia- We have a group excursion to the southernmost region of Spain for a week in early March.

Dublin, Ireland- A few friends and I are going to Dublin for a few days the weekend before Saint Patrick's Day in mid March. I am incredibly excited to see Ireland!

Barcelona- We have a few days off so 5 or 6 friends and I are heading out to Barcelona for 5 days in late March (March is going to be an insane month!).

Possibly Paris or Rome- early April with CJ (who is coming for 2 weeks in April)

Possibly Zurich, Switzerland with my friend Helen who has family there.

Possibly Amsterdam for Queen's Day in April, which is a big party day there.

Possibly the south of France because my friend Fattin and I have a friend there.

Possibly Wales and London because my friend Abby is there.

Before all these March trips, hopefully we are going to go to Portugal (I really want to see Libson) and explore the rest of Spain itself.

During my month of traveling in May with hopefully brother Ben, we are going to see much of Germany, hopefully the Netherlands, Amsterdam, Italy... The possiblitlies are endless!

Europe is wonderful!

  1. Please, please go to Barcelona as much as possible. An absolute masterpiece of a city. In all the world, Barcelona is the perfect example of how a juxtaposition of buildings from different eras makes the perfect urban environment. The US could (should) learn a lot from Barcelona. I (again) encourage you to look at the way they build cities and how the US builds cities. Not just the age of buildings but how the streets are laid out etc.

    I love your list of places you want to visit... hopefully you get to go to most of them. Sounds like you're enjoying Spain, keep it up and keep us posted!
