Top 10 Moments of David's Eurotrip

24.3.10 - 00:56 - Fiumicino Airport, Rome, Italy.

So the trip is pretty much done, and I’m sitting at the airport reminiscing, which means: double blog post! I know you’re as excited as I am. So without further ado:

The Top 10 Moments of David's Eurotrip

10. Drinking at least once every day while abroad (until the program was over, there were a few sober days in Bosnia, especially after the hospital visit…more on that later).

9. Seeing “the David” in Florence (it was cool seeing a David that’s almost as famous as I’m going to be someday).

8. Singing karaoke to “World’s Greatest” by R. Kelly with two girls I had just met (that’s right, D-Kru made his European debut).

7. The entire Sarajevo trip and Bosnian Hospital excursion (nicest people in the world; not the nicest machinery…but two shots in the ass later everything was back to normal).

6. The beginning of International Pub Crawl 2010 in Prague (12 hours, 8 bars, 4 liters of beer, 1 hell of a day).

5. All 3 AS Roma Soccer games and the one FC Barcelona contest (fans are crazy).

4. Drinking on the rock under the Acropolis in Athens (one of the best “I can’t believe I’m here moments” of the trip).

3. The last night in Budapest.

2. Everybody going out for Shelby’s 21st birthday (in the beginning of the program before sh*t starting hitting the fan…and Abby’s head).

1. The first (and every subsequent) time I saw the Colosseum (the best “I can’t believe I’m here moment” of the trip…that place is fricken amazing).

Honorable Mentions: seeing Richard Branson running along the beach in Barcelona; seeing the Pope do his thing at the Vatican; visiting 3 countries in one day…twice (Italy, Vatican, Spain; Italy, Croatia, Bosnia); getting a 4.0 on a paper in P. Moy’s class; stepping in the Mediterranean Sea; going on a boat (to a Greek Island); watching the Olympics in Greece.

Needless to say, it was a hell of a trip.
