European Tour

Okay, I'm off again and this time I'll do a little better keeping up the blog.
I leave for Madrid tomorrow at 11AM. Confused? Here's a little background:
I've been working in Minneapolis for the past six months, feeling a little bummed out because all my friends are so far away. In February, my dear friend Carmela told me she was traveling to Europe and invited me to join her. My response was "Yeah, right, let me pull out my million dollars and go." I had just come back from a week in Florida and I was pretty low on cash. I joked about the offer to mom who said "Why not? I'll help you go." She then reminded me that I could work for my dad at his restaurant and earn a good amount of cash. I realized this was a pretty good idea. I have no obligation, no bills, no one to support. Why not take advantage of my situation and go off to see some friends in Europe?
So, I quit my temp job in Minneapolis and I have spent the last three weeks in St Croix Falls, WI (pop: 2,000) earning some spending money. It's all gone quickly and I'm kind of terrified that the big day is tomorrow. I am bringing one backpack and I'll meet Carmela in Madrid on Monday. Neither of us are really sure what's going to happen after that, but we know there will be adventure!
Expect some posts in the next coming weeks. I'm not sure how often I'll have access to the internet, but hopefully I can update at least once from each city.
