Having already taken a long 10-day fall break to four countries and trying to be conscious of my college student budget, I reluctantly passed on the Edinburgh trip.įast forward to this past spring, when Sarah and Kelan invited us to come visit them in Dublin in August.

But others spanned the entire weekend - like a longer train trip to Edinburgh, Scotland. Some were short, like a day trip by bus to Stonehenge and Bath. įiled Under: Destinations, Europe, France, Spain, Travel Thoughts Leave a Commentīack in 2013 when I studied abroad in London, my school had a few organized trips that they offered to students.

I think it will provide a lot of good context for the trip, and I’ll eventually update it with links to specific topics as well. I’ll probably publish this before it’s all the way done and then just update it as we go through the rest of the trip. But I wanted to start with a “trip review” type post, as I’ve done in the past. I have SO MUCH to tell you all about this trip! About the cities we’ve been to, about the car rental process, about taking a road trip in Europe. Eventually I settled for a weak “bonjour” and holding up my laptop charger… and here we are. Devastatingly, I don’t speak French so I was too afraid to ask the one person who works here for help.

And I almost didn’t sit down to write this because my computer was almost dead and all the outlets in this coffee shop had plastic covers on them.

I’m almost halfway through our two-week European road trip across Andorra, southern France, and northern Spain. Bonjour, friends! As I begin to write this post, I’m sitting in a coffee shop in Bordeaux, France.
