Pre-Field Season Prep. It's Cramming Time.

Time seems to fly so quickly these days. Preparations for my departure are well underway with less than a week to go. I've finished off the cafe job and am hoping that the savings I've managed to collect will be sufficient for the summer's surprises.

Considering how lodging and meals are completely provided for on our sites, I figure I'll be able to spend most of my money on tooling around the surrounding regions, and neighboring E.U. countries. I'm all well set with my 6-day, 5-country Eurail pass and am quite excited for Copenhagen... though I cannot but worry how I'll cross an entire continent to get to Burgos for the first day of excavation.

Who cares? C'e la vie. Like Paul Coelho would say, the universe only conspires in your favor, therefore let it be my wings and guide me through my adventures!
