My cousin, Jamie, asked for the scoop on this Europe trip I am counting down to, so here it is!
My friend Ginger and I have been given the oppurtunity to travel throughout Europe for three weeks this summer. We are leaving on July 22nd and returning in August before my first internship starts back in Sedona, a town near Flagstaff widely visited by richy rich tourists and people who believe in crystal healings and vortex energy field voodoo.
It will be just the two of us, and hopefully we won't kill each other after three weeks and both of us will return! We are visiting the following countries: France, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, and possibly heading to Ireland as well. The goal is to make it low key, outdoorsy, and not TOO touristy. Our newly adopted motto, which Ginger so eloquently created one day, is "Stay when stay, leave when leave". It means that there is no plan, and we'll do whatever we want in each country without overloading ourselves on attractions, then we'll be free to leave whenever the next country calls our names. My four goals are as follows:
1. Drink a latte at an outdoor cafe that looks toward the Eiffel Tower.
2. Run up a green hill in Switzerland or Austria singing "The Hills are Alive with the Sound of Music".
3. Go to some super famous art museums and appreciate the history of it.
4. Experience local life in each country where we stay.
I'll let yall know more when I know more. If anyone has been to any of these countries and can tell me cool local things to do, I would REALLY want to hear about it!

I am so excited for you to experience all this!!! If you do make it to Ireland...anywhere is beautiful!!! Kilarney National Park was great, kissing the Blarney Stone...but seriously, the Cliffs of Moher are breathtaking!
Hey Amanda...Uncle Peter and I will be in and around Italy in July too! On the 23rd, we'll be in Venice but leaving for home the next day. Where will you be? I love the fact that you've done this site. I feel I can know my Niece a bit better...cute boyfriend by the way! :) Take care, love you!
Well put! This trip is going to be awesome! Pretty soon we are going to have gelato in our bellies and wind in our hair running through the hills ;) I'm excited to be going with you. However, just remember, though, that if we spat, you will be the first to go... I'm bigger ;)!!!
I love you!
Aunt Lisa,
We are arriving in Paris on July
23rd and spending a few days in France first, so unfortunately we will miss you! How cool would that have been to see you in Italy! Enjoy your time there and let's exchange photos when we return! Love you!
when are you coming back?
Jon (That was Jon Schmidt, right?),
I am coming back on August 12th as far as I know! I start my first internship on August 18th in Sedona. Pray for me about that, I am really nervous of failing because it is in a hospital. Everyone must do at least one rotation in a hospital. I throw up in hospitals.
You coming to Flag anytime soon? I'll be in Tucson in late May.
