The Start of Summer Vacation

My semester is officially over!  This girl is one (gigantic) thesis away from graduating.  So, we're going on vacation for a really, really long time.  My mom, Bill, and Bizzy are headed this way, and they've planned quite a holiday.  Here's the lineup: Bath, Cotswolds, London, Bruges, Brussels, and Amsterdam.  You might not see a post for almost three weeks, but we'll try.

We come back to Lugano for two days, and then we're off again... this time, meeting Ryan's mom and sister.  We're thinking of going to Sardinia... people here say it's easily the best beach in Italy, and one of the best beaches in Europe.  We'll see!

Our friends in Europe think nothing of vacationing all summer, but I still can't believe it.  I guess I'll enjoy this while I still can.


PS - The weather hasn't been so nice lately (amendment to previous post - visit Switzerland in April or EARLY May).  I woke up to this last weekend... Ryan usually reads on the outside couch, but this morning it was pouring outside, so he moved the furniture, opened the door, and tried to replicate the experience.  It works, too.  In a terrible rainstorm, you can still open all the doors to the balcony, and nothing gets wet.
