Tomorrow I will be on a plane headed out of North America for the first time! We fly out of Grand Rapids, Michigan, have a brief layover in Detroit, then on to Frankfurt, Germany. While in Europe I will get to see Trier, Saarbrucken, and Heidelburg in Germany! I'm excited to see Trier especially, because there's apparently Roman ruins that are still pretty well preserved there!
We also get the chance to go to Amsterdam, Paris, and Strassburg, France! I'm SO excited for my first international adventure and will post pictures as soon as I am home.
Though this month of traveling and seeing family has been, and will continue to be, really really fun, I'm sad that I will only have one more month with my friends and family back home before leaving for Panama! I am still waiting on my host family and my definite travel itinerary, but I will be leaving the US in the first week of September, just under two months away. The Chip-In widget on my blog doesn't work anymore, with the trip so close. However, if you are still interested in donating, or have any questions about my trip, please email me at brelyn.rose@gmail.com . Thanks! Hope everyone's summer's going as good as mine :) I've got to go get packed!
