in less than 4 hours...

I will have begun my journey to Milano, Italy. 

A brief summary/timeline of my plans:

Spend two days, one night in Milano. 

Spend 2-3 days, two nights in Verona. 

July 4th- make our way to farm #1 in Piacenza.

July 11th transfer to farm #2, also in Piacenza

July 24th-25th- take train from Milano to Paris

July 25th-31st- time in Paris with Juliana and her friend Becky

July 30th or 31st- make my way to farm #3, in Diano Marina, an olive farm 300 meters from the coast! 

August 17th- take ferry from Italian coast to Barcelona. seems to be the cheapest option, although I may get a wee bit sick! 

Juliana, a dear friend from the University of Chicago, will be accompanying me on 2/3 of this migrant farm working trip. [She flies out of Paris at the end of our time there.] 

Right, so, I'm way too tired to write anything witty or more interesting. Watch for updates!
