I went to Europe during Summer 2002 with my friends Amy, Andrew, Cynthia, Jeff, and Leslie. We went on the European Encounter Contiki tour, an 18 day tour around Europe. After the tour we stopped in Madrid for a couple of days on our own.

I took an art history class during my last semester at Cal and it was pretty amazing to see the actual art works I learned from class. All the architecture was impressive and elaborate, especially compared to what we see in the United States. To top that off, a lot of the buildings we saw in Europe have been there for centuries.

I went picture happy in Europe; I took about 13 rolls of film. =p Costco lost one of my rolls though. Ra, and I'm not even sure what country I'm missing.

One thing I didn't like about the tour was the timing. I wished we had more time to explore; I have a bad habit of wandering around aimlessly.
