The Art of Walking

I went to see a youth travel agency (STAtravel.com) today and booked my flights for Europe!  I talked to a more than helpful woman, more like an angel, with plenty of experience in traveling and saving money for people like me.  It was a flat rate of $30 for all the logistical planning she's doing for me. I came in with a wish list of countries (11 total) I wanted to go to and she said my whole trip is doable on my budget!  With the combination of the Eurail pass and flights, I'll be staying in hostels in England, Ireland, France, Italy, The Netherlands, Greece, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Spain, Germany, and Austria over the course of about 6 weeks.

Walking is an art; it really is.  Well, the way I look at it.  You could just walk for practical purposes alone,  I guess. But there's a world you are interacting with as you travel.   I've seen people that walk in a way that draws you in, makes you want to go with them.  That's the kind of walking I want to do in Europe.

My thoughts are being cut short, leaving to my friend Will's wedding.  Best Man speech time!
