ME & BABY BELLE IN THE BLACK FOREST

What I still want to do (in no particular order of priority):

Oslo (I have not visited my friend there yet).
Scandinavia Tour
Med Cruise  to Santorini, Croatia, Turkey
Revisit Prague and visit to Cesky Krumlov
Revisit Switzerland (I wasn’t impressed the first time)
Beach: Ibiza, Monte Carlo, French Riviera somewhere
Scotland
Russia
Poland: Krakow maybe Warsaw
Portugal
Italy: Roma, Venice, Pisa, Florance, Milan, Vatican

Spain: Barcelona, Madrid, Seville, Valencia, Malaga, Ibiza, Granada, Cordva, Gibraltar (it’s really GB I know), Canary Islands, Having A Coke With You tour (Check out Frank O’Hara’s poem)
Germany:  Oktoberfest!, Romantik Road, Koln, Berlin, Dresden
Africa: Ferry from Gibraltar into Africa, Seychelles (Even though It’s not Europe, I’m thinking it must be cheaper
from Europe than the U.S. and I’ve never been south of the Equator)
France: Versailles, Paris Catacombs, Moulin Rouge, French cooking school, Nancy, Lyon, Nice, Marseille, Seine River boat Ride, Jim Morrison’s grave site, Saint Tropez, Marseilles

Then of course there are the activities like skiing, white water rafting, marathons, concerts, girls get-a-ways, and romantic retreats that I also want to experience. Then I can say I came, I saw, I conquered all in Europe.  Still very ambitious. When I graduate in May, I’ll return to The States.  I can’t help but to feel my time for touring, exploring, and pilgrimage-ing is running out.  Even Stuttgart is a holiday. I am still wandering into new neighborhoods and discoveries with every new turn in this fabulous hometown.  There is still much in Germany that I have yet to see and explore.

All those trips will have to wait. This weekend, I’ll just enjoy summertime in Stuttgart.  I’ll be finding my balance, getting my life back in order, and recharging from a whirlwind of a year thus far. Besides…I have books to read and papers to write…coming upon my final semester as a grad student! Although it’s bitter sweet, I can see the light at the end of the graduation tunnel!
