The Facts

This site will be much prettier and full of things like a country ticker, map, photo albums, food blogs and more (site design coming soon from the fantastic Silka Glanzman). For now, here are the facts:

THE PLAN

We're going to Europe. The plan is to spend 2 weeks in each country in Europe. There are 50 recognized by the U.S. State Department, so that puts us a little over 2 years (with a 10 day trip home every four months).

THE PURPOSE

To write. We'll be working on one project together, along with individual endeavors. Plus, if we don't do it now... then when?

THE LOGISTICS

We will end our apartment lease, buy a car (most likely a Land Rover or small pick-up), attain necessary visas and be across the ocean and on our way by September 1st. (update: our flight out is actually August 29th).
