One would think that living in Europe would mean constant vacations and sightseeing. I mean, people travel halfway across the globe to come see the environment I spend my daily, boring life! To be honest, though, life just gets in the way sometimes. There were landmarks in the places I grew up in Canada, too. Places that Germans would travel halfway across the world to see. But in your day-to-day life, things like that just get forgotten. The same goes for living in Europe. Now, I'm not saying it's not feasible. Friends A. and B. are gone pretty much every other day to see something new. Me, I can only handle so many castles and churches. Sure, they're exciting when you're visiting Europe for three weeks. But I'm seriously sick of them (call me spoiled, I know).
But, it looks like in the next little while I'll be taking a leaf out of A. and B.'s book. First up, either Kassel or Munich to visit a friend of mine from Calgary. Kassel would be something new and exciting. Munich, on the other hand, not. But I like Munich. And I like their beer gardens.
Next, Finland!! I'm very excited to see E. Very. Her mom said that she would cook for us on the weekend. I'm just mostly excited to see her. And not understand her crazy native language. Yikes. What excites me about Finland is that it's not a place I would ever purposefully go. So, I'm completely taken aback by the unknown, and to be honest, that excites me almost as much as seeing her.

If you thought I was done, you're wrong. Well... right. That's all that's planned for now. Hubbs and my first anniversary is in August, and he still has about two weeks' worth of vacation. Maybe we'll go somewhere nice (warm) for that!!
And, I promise I'll actually have real pictures that I took when I come home!
