A month in one place...

Is one month in one city in a foreign country too much?

Depends...

If you like to see a ton of stuff and always be on the go, yes... a month is too much.  You can pretty much see the highlights of Rome in 3-7 days.  Slam-bam, thank you ma’am... you won’t even have to get adjusted to the time zones.

If, on the other hand, you just want to ease into life, perhaps take in a movie or maybe the new Monet exhibit, well... that’s a different story.

We managed to do something different everyday.  Up by 7:30, coffee by 9:00, off on an adventure, lunch around 13:00, home by 15:00.  Rest.  Relax.  Siesta.  Discuss what we saw today.  Plan on tomorrow’s adventure.  Rinse.  Recycle. Repeat.

This idea is not new.  I read it on a “bucket list”, somewhere on the internet.  Immediately I liked the idea.  Would I choose a different city next time?  Maybe.

London and Paris are EXPENSIVE.  Maybe Madrid or Barcelona.  I like small towns, but the big cities sure do offer a person lots of options.

Just thinking...
