Euro Tripping

Sitting On Steps of Mercato Nuovo

That blue place up there is where i will be spending a good amount of time this October. I recently booked the flight portion of my week-long October break and it feels really good. The three major destinations are Amsterdam, Copenhagen, and Berlin in that order. Flights were expensive but i believe the sites and experiences available in these places are well worth it. I plan to spend four days exploring Amsterdam's cutting edge architecture on a bicycle. I'm also interested in going to watch them make new land which seems like a pretty crazy concept. I guess Copenhagen will have tasty danish?.. Maybe not but it looks like a wonderful example of contemporary architecture working in harmony with the ways of the past. And Berlin.. maybe ill snag a piece of the historic wall if im not too busy enjoying the worlds tastiest beers. I think that has a good chance of being the best week of my life.

As if this week weren't enough, thats only the beginning of my October travels. The second weekend in October i have an overnight excursion to Venice with my design studio. The icing on this cake is the fact that the Venice Biennale Architecture Exhibition runs during this time period. This exhibition is host to designs from pioneering architects which represent countries all across the globe. It does seem pretty convenient. What doesnt seem that convenient is the Villa and Garden field trip which occupies the first day of our only 4 day weekend. I guess i should be relieved that this trip is to Rome.. okay im pretty relieved. The next day i ll be leaving for Barcelona and Valencia which i believe i mentioned a few blogs ago. Either way this trip will conclude my month of euro trips.

I have one more free weekend the first week of October... Stockholm, Helsinki, or Brussels?
