Casey's Two Euro

Despite her use of the first-person singular in the previous post, I’m sure you’ll all be happy to know that Eliza won't be trekking across the Continent alone this summer. No, indeed -- I’ll be right there beside her, wearing a baseball cap and Dayglo fanny pack, holding my maps upside down and miscalculating times on Europe’s 24-hour clocks, all while speaking to the locals with a mangled accent derived from two years of remedial high-school French.

I’m sure she’s thrilled.

Like her, I’m also new to blogging, and really have no idea how to entertain such an anonymous audience. What if nothing exciting happens to us? What if exciting things happen, but I can’t do them justice? What if – gasp! – nobody comments on a single one of my posts?? I’ve considered making up crazy stories to hold your attention – something about frolicking through the peaks of the Alps, teaching local children important life lessons, and dramatically risking my own life on their behalf – but then I realized that I was just daydreaming about The Sound of Music again.

In the end, we’ll just do our best to pass on a few anecdotes and keep you all up to date. It may not be as captivating as Julie Andrews breaking into song, but hey, what is?

So bookmark this page and stay tuned!
