Fall Break

I am pretty excited about Fall Break. I leave Friday morning for Pisa. I’m not bringing my laptop, so I won’t have any means of communication for a week. My fantasy football is all set for the week, should be the least of my concerns. I am filling my backpack and going to live out of that for ten days. Flights and hostels are all set. I have one day in Pisa, three days in Barcelona, one day in Bilbao, and five days in Paris! It's still somewhat surreal that I am going to see these places. I am traveling with Matt, my roommate who is an architect also. He is a pretty efficient traveler so there won’t be much down time.

A few other people (non-architects) want to meet up with us in the cities that I am going to, but we’ll see. When we say Bilbao or the Barcelona Pavilion, they look at us like we are crazy, they are probably right. My head will constantly be on a swivel looking at some of the best architecture in the world and hopefully relating a lot of what I see to my thesis.
