Tallinn, Estonia
Computer is coming... yay.
I've officially been out here for two months now. (well, two months and a day, I couldn't get to a computer yesterday) and thought I'd write a little post celebrating my anniversery and some of the things I've learned so far, since about two weeks ago it officially became the longest trip of my life.
Ten things I've learned:
1. Just because it's a train or bus, and not a plane, doesn't mean you can arrive to catch it with only one minute to spare.
2. Couchsurfing.org is the best website ever invented. If you travel, use it.
3. Never turn down an invitation to a party, especially if it goes until 8am.
4. No skin, no win - An inside joke that we discovered turned out to be true when watching women's beach volleyball - the team with the least amount of clothing wins every time. Maybe it's air friction slowing everyone else down :) Keep that in mind ladies when you're running late!
5. Friends are the most important thing when traveling - even if they're new ones and you only see them for two days in your life.
6. The government loves to get you to sign shit with deadlines when you're out of the country.
7. If you sneeze it means thank-you in Lithuanian. "ahh choo"
8. "super duper" means "super ass" in Polish - I found out the hard way.
9. The hottest girls in Europe (well, of the countries I've been too) come from Poland (sorry Latvia, you're a close second).
10. I can limbo like a young Hermes. Somehow I won a limbo contest... not really sure how...
and here's a bonus number 11: McDonald's really DOES taste the same everywhere.
See you all from Turkey!

Hey congrats! That's a wonderful milestone to make it to. You will have many many more "anniversaries" to celebrate. You and I had it mastered when showing up mere mins bf something was about to leave. The biggest one was to the airport in Calgary LACKING our tent and leaving to backpack/camp in Europe. Nicely done on our part and Im glad to see you haven't lost it! It just adds to the adventure and story telling! You have seen some really impressive,sad,fantastic, amazing and memorable things that very few people get to. Keep enjoying it and keep the stories coming!
