Another Summer...Another Adventure

Hi everyone!

So I figured that I would continue my vacation blog from last summer for my Europe adventures this summer. This year's adventures feature many places that I have never been. I will be exploring Turkey, Italy, Greece, Switzerland and the South of France. I have been to France but have only been to Paris so I am very excited to explore the French Riviera and parts of Provence. Switzerland brings the attraction of the Matterhorn, while the other countries bring obvious draws. This semester in school, I have taken two courses on Roman History so I couldn't be more excited to see many of the Roman historical sites in Rome, Istanbul and Provence. I will have 28 great days in Europe and I couldn't be more excited. There are so many things to learn, amazing food to eat, important purchases to make, and adventures to be had. Just to give you an idea of what I will be doing, here is my schedule of cities broken down by country.

Turkey: Istanbul, Canakkale and Troy, Permagon, Ephesus

Greece: Patmos, Santorini, Heraklion, Athens, Delphi

Italy: Pompeii, Rome, Vatican City, Florence

I will be traveling with a group of college students from around the country for 18 days while I am in the cities I listed above. It will be very exciting to meet these students and travel around Europe with them.

However, once the tour ends in Rome, my adventures will continue. I am very excited and a little nervous. I will travel on my own to the following cities:

Venice, Italy
Zermatt, Switzerland
Avignon, Antibes, and Nice, France

I absolutely cannot wait to begin this trip in about three weeks or so. Here are some shots of what I'll get to see just to make you jealous.















Can't wait to share this new adventure with you all!
