The last couple of days have been great rest days for Angie and I. We went to bed early and caught up on some much needed sleep. Since our test last week Angie and I have been craving to watch an American TV show- no certain show, just something in english to give our mind a rest! So yesterday we search the internet looking for something/anything to watch. Apparently though if you are in another country you can't watch american TV shows. But we did not let that stop us. We kept searching and amazingly Angie found a website that you can watch basically any TV show and any episode of that show in just the click of a button. We spent a good three hour in between lunch and dinner watching one of the best TV shows ever- Dexter. Angie was slightly disturbed by the show, but I love it! Its just so well written! Angie may or may not have had a few nightmares last night so for her sake next time I think we might stick to Glee!
Another huge accomplishment of ours the past couple of days: we have successfully planned our 12 day adventure for after Spain! We have our transportation (flights, trains) and all of our lodging covered! After a good 3 weeks talking to professors, friends, locals, tutors, and whoever else, we have made our final decision on where we will be going. It was so hard to decide! I want so badly to go everywhere and see everything- but time just wont allow it! (AKA Angie need to get back to Lubbock to see the boyfriend)
Our final plan: Madrid- Paris- Rome- Florence- village in Cinque Terre called Riomaggior- Pisa
As you can see we will be spending the majority of our time in Italy! I was a little sad that we would not be seeing more countries, but this is just a good excuse to come back to Europe! I still need to explore Ireland- Scotland- UK and then Germany- The Netherlands- Switzerland- Austria and then Greece. But for now I am extremely excited about what we have planned out!
We are leaving Madrid after a good 6 day stay and heading to Paris. We will be leaving our big bag in storage at the Madrid airport and only be taking our backpacks on this little adventure! This could be interesting! Our hostel in Paris is right next to the Eiffel Tower! After exploring the city and possibly the country-side for 3 days and 2 night, we are flying to Rome. In Rome we found a cheap Bed and Breakfast right next to the Colosseum that we will be staying at for 3 days and 2 nights! In Italy we will have a Eurorail (train) pass that we will use to travel from place to place! This will be great because we will be able to see the country-side and it will take us to basically anywhere and everywhere! From Rome we will head to Florence where we found a hostel right in the center of the city and very close to the river. We will stay there for 3 days and 2 nights and then we will head over to Riomaggior. You may not have heard about Riomaggior. My friend Courtney suggested it to me and after researching and reading about it, this is the place I am most excited to go to! The hotel we are staying at is right on the Mediterranean Sea. We have the hotel for 3 days and 2 night and then lastly we will head to Pisa and stay one day and one night in a hostel walking distance to the airport and also to the Leaning Tower of Pisa. In the morning we will catch our flight back to Madrid and get our big bag our of storage and Flight our early the next morning! We will be in Lubbock at approximately 11:50pm on July 6th.
If you have any suggestions on what we should do in each place I'd love to hear! i haven't quite planned out a daily itinerary or anything.. but it is going to be an amazing adventure!
