Europe, North Africa 1998
This trip was planned with two goals in mind: Climb at all the world class crags in southern France, and run with the bulls in Pamplona. This was also my first attempt at lightweight travel. I carried a single pair of pants, a single long sleeved shirt and two t-shirts. You'll note that I'm wearing the same outfit in every single photo. I'm like Charlie Brown that way. Along the way, I managed to get diverted to Morocco for a week, got injured and ended up in Berlin for a few days, and was basically assimilated by the Mediterranean backpacker crowd for quite some time. Regardless, I still got in a whole bunch of climbing at some amazing places, and did indeed run with the bulls. One summer is not nearly enough time to do Europe right, though it is definitely enough to run through all your savings. I plan to be back soon.
