Well, last weekend I of course went to Jerez de la Frontera, today I booked a flight to go see Kayleigh in Prague in November (I stop in Frankfurt on the way there and Munich on the way back, so I get to see two lovely airports in Germany), and Friday we leave on a trip for Galicia, the seafood-rich region of Spain to the North of Portugal. (Also the destination of the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela for the art history buffs in the crowd).
This is my first trip to Europe, and here are the places I want to go (the must-sees in all-caps):
1. BARCELONA
2. PARIS
3. LONDON
4. FLORENCE
5. Other sites in England
6. Ireland
7. Scotland
8. Portugal
9. Berlin
10. Rome
11. Naples
12. Milan
13. Other sites in Italy
14. Greece
15. Morocco (strait of Gibraltar)
This isn't an exhaustive list of everywhere I want to go, but I'm trying to be realistic. For Christmas break I will probably go home for a week or two, then fly to London and make my way back to Madrid by train (possibly with Patrick for part of that journey?). Barcelona and Paris are easy weekend journeys. Florence is amazing so I am shooting to go there for Easter vacation. If Patrick or someone came for their spring break, I would probably go with them to Barcelona or Lisbon for a few days.
What have I missed? It would be lovely to go to a relaxing beach on the Mediterranean. With Georgetown I will also go on trips to Sevilla, Extremadura, Segovia, Toledo, Córdoba and Granada (my mom's favorite place in Spain). I feel like I need to start planning now! Orientation classes are almost over, and I am packing my Monday-Tuesday schedule so I can travel. Or just enjoy life in Madrid.
