The Stoke: The Best Month Ever

I can't stop smiling.
It feels too good to be true.
I just spent the afternoon meticulously planning my July travels. Finally. It's taken form.
And the itinerary is fucking dreamy.
Fucking. Dreamy.
Excuse my language, but I'm that excited.

The plan:
5/7----Fly from CPH to Amsterdam with Thomas and Clara for Pitch Music Festival.
Spend 2 days listening to great music, partying, being with people I adore.
8/7----Take the train from Amsterdam to Vichte, Belgium to visit Brouwerij Verhaeghe (I hope they give tours!) to taste my favorite beer, The Duchesse de Bourgogne, straight from the source.

Then, that evening, take the train to Paris.
8/7-12/7---- Paris with another Amazing best friend, Daniel! If he can get it off of work, that is... I hope so!
12/7----Take the train from Paris to Bordeaux to hang out with a wine connoisseur Katie met while travelling Europe last year (Wine!!! Bordeaux!!! Holy moly!!!)
14/7----Stop for a beach day in Biarritz, maybe rent a surf board or just read on the sand and try and regain some color, then head to San Sebastian in Basque Country for the night and the following day. Nothing but beach and delishhhh food! (I found a blog that rated San Sebastian as the number 2 foodie destination in the world!!)

15/7----Take an overnight train from San Sebastian to Granada. I'll basically traverse the whole country by train, bypassing tons of amazing destinations, but I've got to get to Granada! It should be a nice train ride... I hope. I can't wait to see the Alhambra! 

18/7----Take a train to Madrid in the afternoon. Maybe I'll do something unethical like going to see a bull fight.  

...Ouch
21/7---- Take an overnight train from Madrid to Lisbon, where I'll kick it in Portugal (Yes!) until...
25/7---- Fly from Lisbon to Copenhagen
26/7---- Take one last look at Copenhagen. Probably cry
27/7----Try not to go crazy during my 18 hours of travel from Copenhagen to San Diego.


Bring it, July.
