The End of the Beginning

Classes ended on the 11th, and finals started immediately after. These past few weeks have been a whirlwind of final exams, projects, presentations, and packing. I'm most proud of my photography project and presentation, but I really enjoyed all four of my classes this semester. Roman history especially gave me a very solid base from which to learn about Cordoba, Spain, and Europe in general, and Archaeology taught me to appreciate the material culture of the past.


While the material is still fresh in my mind, this January I'm going to travel around southwestern Europe and use my photography skilllz on whatever Roman ruins I come across. Between now and February 17th (beginning of next semester's classes), I'm planning on visiting five countries and about 20 cities:


December:
17 Madrid
18 Bilbao
22 Paris (France)
24 Brittany


January:
01 Paris
07 Rome (Italy)
10 Florence
14 Milan
15 Vienna (Austria)
18 Salzburg
20 Zurich (Switzerland)
24 Malaga (Spain)
...
Wandering around southern Spain for several weeks ...
...


February:
15 Cordoba


While I'm wandering though, internet is probably going to be spotty at best and updates might not have many pictures. I can promise lots of good stories though!


Also, if any of you have any suggestions as to what to do in any of these cities, please comment or email them to: abearincordoba "at" gmail "dot" com. Thanks! :D
