a jaunt around europe with s & a

we have big plans for september. they look roughly like this:

holy crap it's europe.

the wonderful, cookie-bearing julie is also included in these plans. we are hoping she brings cookies in her backpack, lots and lots of cookies. they will fuel us as we make our way around europe on trains n planes n bikes n stuff. we are hoping to ride a blimp. this seems unlikely.

we quickly came to the realization that this is a whole lot of places to go in a month, and we will have to use our time wisely and plan smart. in light of this we have decided to go for a 'divide and conquer' strategy, each of us taking a couple countries and researching the bejesus out of it so we don't miss any of the fun times. after much though we have concluded that the best approach to compiling our plans and map out the exact train and road ways we will need to take, as well as the locations of all the hot spots would be to create a large map of europe on the living room floor with various breakfast cereals (chex = czech republic, french toast crunch = france, puffed wheat = netherlands, etc). mary doesn't know yet. now she will.

now, the tricky part is that our knowledge of europe and all its hidden gems is limited. this is why we would like to extend to you, dear ________ (insert name here), an invitation to influence our plans! drank awesome wine in france? shredded the gnar gnar in switzerland? had coffee at a quaint cafe in italy? done german stuff? LET US KNOW! we would welcome travel advice and will send you a hug in the mail or give you one in person.

shenanigans will be had by all.

s. & a.

ps. this here is a song we like. we listened to it last night while doing this:

studying.

sex.
