Introduction / Airplane

We are 3 days into our trip to Europe, so I apologize for taking so much time to get this blog up. We have been very busy, so unfortunately daily posts will probably not be happening. But I will try to post as much as possible moving forward.

A little bit of background for those who may not know: The travelers are Yuval Gnessin (yours truly) and Rodrigo Santos. We have just graduated from UC Berkeley and USC, respectively, and are taking a ~40 day Eurotrip during our time off before we both start work in mid-late July. Yuval will mostly be updating this blog because Rodrigo has his own blog here.

Here is our itinerary:

The itinerary is flexible so there may be some changes along the way. Additionally, I (Yuval) will be staying in Israel an additional 11 days after Rodrigo leaves, meaning I’ll be there until the 16^th.

Our trip began on May 28 with a 12-hour flight to Paris CDG from LAX, during which we were pleasantly surprised to be served free Wine and Champagne. The flight was otherwise uneventful, and we safely arrived in Paris from which we (barely) made a connecting flight to Lisbon, Portugal for our first stop of the trip. And thus the adventure begins…
