How far did I travel this week?:

I've spent a good bit of the past week traveling - 1,873.1 miles to be precise! I went to Paris on Saturday and spent the weekend there exploring the museums and tourist spots. I've been told many times that Paris requires multiple trips. The first trip is for all of the tourist attractions; after that, you must go and explore different neighborhoods, enjoy the gastronomic experience and do the more local experience. After Paris, we went to Bordeaux for a one night experience of the calmer, quieter and very beautiful French wine country (like Napa Valley in California!) where we saw lots of grapes and biked the paths between the vineyards.

How far have I traveled on this journey so far?:

I've traveled approximately 6,783.5 miles since the start of my journey on September 12th! Memphis, TN-->Atlanta, GA-->Brussels, Belgium-->Rotterdam, Netherlands-->Brussels, Belgium-->Leuven, Belgium-->Brussels, Belgium-->Paris, France-->Bordeaux, France-->Libourne, France-->Bordeaux, France-->Brussels, Belgium...and the journey continues!

How did I get around this week?:

I've used almost every mode of transportation this week - international trains to Thalys, metro in Paris and Brussels, domestic trains to Libourne, a flight back to Brussels and bus within Brussels for my commute to work.
