some trips are planned:

My flights for my trips have been booked. Europe supports European movement or integration, so they have a couple airline systems that have really cheap flights. The one we use is Ryanair. Some of their flights are 0.00 euros with a 15 euro tax. So many of these flights like, Barcelona to Paris, Pisa to Frankfurt, Frankfurt to Stockholm, were 15-20 euros.

For fall break, which is October 24th through November 2:
- Train to Pisa for one day
- Fly to Barcelona for four days
- Fly to Bilbao for one day, return back to Barcelona the next day
- Paris for four days

On an upcoming weekend, after fall break a few of us want to drive up to Switzerland. There is a lot of great architecture there, and I heard the landscape was beautiful.

The weekend of November 20th to the 23rd a friend and I found very cheap tickets to Stockholm, Sweden. I have always said if I were to ever move out of the U.S. it would be to Sweden, so I am pretty excited about this. Does anyone else think like that or is it just me?

Any suggestions for any of these places?

Sweden is great - especially the architecture in Old Town Stockholm. Parks are gorgeous too.

Thanks Grace. I'll definitely check that out.

One of the professor's from U of Wisconsin is an expert on folklore and Scandinavia. So, I have been talking to him about it too. He said we are going during the worst time of year; rainy, dark, and cold all day. He said they call November, 'the month of the dead'. Perfect! I like that I am going during 'the month of the dead', who else would do that?

I also am going to visit the Woodland Cemetery, designed by Gunner Asplund. I have had a lecture on this. Did you visit this when you were there?

Hope all is well at TP!
