Bayonne, France ~ July 6, 2007
As I once again begin to consider what I should do and where I should go this summer, I cannot help but think about where I have been. Thoughts bring me back to 2007, and the last time I took an extended trip in Europe. That trip centered around two goals: 1) going to Grenada, Spain to attend a conference and 2) visiting my boyfriend's family in Poland. In order to accomplish these goals I ended up staying in Europe for 54 days! Fortunately, I was able to see a lot of great things, do a lot of fun things and share these memories with friends and family.
After much time spent on the phone and on the internet the plan for the trip the itinerary unfolded nicely and included visits to eleven countries: France, Spain, Morocco, Monaco, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Luxembourg, Belgium, The Netherlands, The Czech Republic, and Poland.
Some highlights of the trip included experiencing the opening night of the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, Spain with my father and the welcoming of the Catholic Pilgrims in Częstochowa, Poland with my boyfriend and his family.
