Eurail

Went with Amy and Pierre to the STA office (on-campus travel agency) at U of A to get Eurail passes. I put 5 countries on mine: Austria, Benelux (includes Belgium, Netherlands, and Luxemborg, maybe?), France, Germany, and Hungary. Should be fun! Our flight leaves tomorrow morning. We fly through Atlanta, GA and arrive in Prague on Saturday, where we will be picked up by a driver from the university and taken to Ceske-Budejovice, which is about 1 or 1.5 hours away from Prague, depending on who is driving... Here are a couple websites that have pictures and some info about the city in which we'll be working this summer:

Packing

Packing has been quite a miserable ordeal this past week. Amy and I have been trying to coordinate various shoes, purses, and lipglosses to ensure that when pooled, we have the entire spectrum of these items on hand while in Europe... just kidding. But I am getting pretty excited to leave for Europe on Friday! Well, not particularly excited for the plane ride, but excited to be in Europe.... However, somehow I have a feeling that Amy and I will find a way to create some sort of entertainment while on the plane.
