Europe encompasses an area of 10,400,000 km² (4,000,000 square miles), stretching from Asia to the Atlantic, and from Africa to the Arctic. Europe’s longest river is the Volga, which meanders 3,530 km (2,193 miles) through Russia, and flows into the Caspian Sea. Eastern Europe’s highest point is Russia’s Mt. Elbrus, which rises to 5,642 m (18,510 feet) above sea level. Western Europe’s highest point is Mont Blanc in the French-Italian Alps, which rises to 4,810 m (15,771 feet) above sea level.
Europe’s climate ranges from subtropical near the Mediterranean Sea in the south, to subarctic near the Barents Sea and Arctic Ocean in the northern latitudes. There is much here for the traveller to enjoy, with a bewildering array of diversity and culture, cosmopolitan cities and spectacular scenery.

After years of yearning for a taste of Europe I committed myself to planning at trip. I leave on 5/14 for a 24 day trip covering London, Milan, Paris, Madrid, Marseille, Rome, Vatican City, Naples, Capri, Venice, Dubrovnik, Santorini, Rhodes, Kusadasi, Mykonos, and Athens.
When get back I’m going to need a vacation just to recover from this trip. I’m working on my Greek and Spanish daily. Thank you Rosetta Stone.
I thought, when the option popped up, about changing my want to go to Europe or tour Europe. I realized tht I didn’t want to do these things. I want to explore it. I don’t really want a tour guide (ok, maybe the first day) but then I want to see what I can see of it. I want to sit quietly in a piazza or on a corner and watch the people move past me. I want to see how their lives are the same and different than mine. I want to feel the age and the history. I’d like to sit at the base of the fountain and watch Anteros fly, forgotten and misidentified, over Piccadilly Circus. I just want to sit and watch and hear the lives around me. I don’t expect they’ll be so much different.
