Josh and I are leaving soon for a journey through parts of eastern central Europe. We’ll be hitting up Prague, Budapest, Bratislava, and Croatia, with lots of good eating and drinking along the way (I hope!). This was sort of an impromptu vacation for us, as we were originally supposed to go to Portugal, Spain, and Amsterdam over the summer. That trip was unfortunately cancelled, and we started planning an African Safari instead. Those plans were put on hold when there was potentially an opportunity for us to move to Argentina for a few months. Even more sadly, that move fell through.
And so here we were, trying to figure out what to do with our remaining vacation days. We tossed around a bunch of ideas, like a skiing/eating trip to Andorra/Basque country, or a culinary adventure through Vietnam and Cambodia, among others. As always, food was a big part of our thinking. Ultimately we decided to take advantage of the still relatively cheap offerings of eastern Europe, where we plan on drinking lots of quality beer and eating lots of potentially fattening foods.
We’re trying not to jam too many things into our trip, although it’s hard for us to do vacations at a leisurely pace. Nevertheless, we hope to have internet access during our journey and will try to post a few updates along the way.
