		<title>Homeward Bound</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My dad picked me up after my relatively painless flight. We drove straight away back up to Sonoma County, and crashed for the night at his friend Eddie&#8217;s place. We got breakfast at my favorite breakfast place in town: Tubbies, and then I set off to my Mom&#8217;s work where I had planned to surprise her at [...]]]></description>

		<title>Baltimore &amp; D.C.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was sitting next to a cute girl on the bus to Baltimore, and I could tell instantly that she was French (without her even saying anything). Having my laptop already out, I pulled a classy introduction by writing her a message in French and showing her the screen. Claire seemed happy to be able to make [...]]]></description>

		<title>NYC</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After spending an extra 500 euros to get back to the states, my budget for the east coast was a bit restricted. I got into Manhattan from the airport and walked around the city for a couple hours before hopping on the subway up to Harlem where I had booked a really cheap hostel. I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Oktoberfest und Chiemsee</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the morning I got a ride from Karin, Katja&#8217;s mother, and one of my hosts in Fellbach to the local train station. I took a train across town to meet up with my mitfahr, and Megan agreed to come with so that I could coordinate with my driver should I need to call him [...]]]></description>

		<title>Stuttgart &amp; Fellbach</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tram to bus to metro to bus to airplane to bus to train to 3-hour wait to train to train to car is a rough outline of Megan&#8217;s and my journey to a town called Fellbach which lies about an hour outside of Stuttgart in south-west Germany. We were headed to this town because Megan&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Roma!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Megan and I were off in the morning, and had an easy bus-to-bus-to-flight-to-train to Roma. We resolved to do some random exploring when we first arrived, and set off towards the colosseum. We got some help from some (presumably) North African dudes who pointed us in the right direction. On our way towards the colosseum [...]]]></description>

		<title>Padua e Venezia</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Megan and I caught our train through the Austrian countryside to Munich, and what a beautiful train ride it was! On the ride there I made some conversation with a sweet 80-year-old German woman, who had asked Megan if I was drunk (since my head was down). I heard the old woman and looked up [...]]]></description>

		<title>Vienna</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I met my mitfahr on the edge of Budapest, and she was perhaps the slowest driver of all time. It took about twice as long as it should have to get to Vienna, but I guess I can&#8217;t complain because it was half the cost of the train. I was running out of minutes on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ballin&#8217; in Budapest</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The drive from Prague to Budapest was a long one to be sure, but I dug the countryside and scenery we had on the way. We passed a load of really cool old school communist-style buildings that would tower over all the vegetation surrounding them, and seem to be in the middle of nowhere. We also [...]]]></description>

		<title>Praha</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had a late arrival in Prague, but managed to find my way to the hostel I had booked with the aid of a google maps screenshot on my camera. The whole hostel was really social, and we went out clubbing with the staff, who were totally legit and got us sweet hookups. I managed [...]]]></description>
