16 Day Recap

Monday we spent the entire day in Paris. Of the 16 days of our travels only four of those we were not traveling. We spent time, more than 2 waking hours, in the following cities:
Barcelona
Nice
Genova
Rome
Padova
Venice
Salzburg
Munich
Zurich
Lucerne
Interlaken
Paris

That's 12 European cities in 16 days. Not too bad.

I'm not an easy person to travel with when I am in control of the trip. I like to keep my options open every day. I also like to see everything in a short amount of time so there is time to relax. LA played into this perfectly. She went along with the issues that come with keeping options open even though that is against her nature. Some cities we would ride the train into at 6:00 at night and not know where we were sleeping. LA kept saying that everything will work out and everything happens for a reason. Funny thing, it always did work out.

It was four miles out and four back from the sites in Paris. That was a typical day for us. After 16 days of being with someone nonstop we had a good balance of talking and being silent. There were no awkward silences and I never thought to myself "I wish she would just be quite" (not saying she never thought that of me though). I also have to commend her for carrying that pack of hers. It weighed the exact same amount of mine, yet she is half the size of me. She never once complained. Even when our walk was a couple miles to the hostel.

Good times people. I recommend this type of trip to anyone with a desire to do it.
