Hello, my loved ones! I always feel like I keep few friends until I send mass emails, and then I realize how many of you there are. I remember feeling so loved when I was miserable upon arriving in Spain in Fall 2000 to study abroad. I will definitely need your support again as I head back there.

As many of you know, I’ll be in Europe for the coming year. That’s the plan, anyway. My itinerary is as follows:

July 30 (my 22nd birthday)-August 7: My family is exchanging homes with a family who lives in Rotterdam, Netherlands.

August 7-9: Brugge, Belgium with the family

August 9-12: Paris with the family, my friend Katie, and boyfriend Matt

August 12-30: Matt, Katie and I travel to….

*    Berlin,Germany
*    Prague, Czech Republic
*    Budapest, Hungary
*    Vienna, Austria
*    Salzburg, Austria
*    Venice, Italy

It’s my first Eurail tour of Europe, and I can’t wait.

From August 30 until next summer (??), Matt and I will live in Barcelona, Spain, and find work. We

realize that this is a crazy plan, but we’re ready for some adventure in our beloved adopted homeland.

Assuming I find lodging in Barcelona, I’ll send you my contact info once I get there. I would love for you all to write me while I’m abroad. It will be exciting, but scary and lonely at first.

Love to you all,

Melia
