And I'm off!

Hey everyone! I'm finishing all of my packing as i type and will be headed off to Germany for the g8 at around 5 this evening. My plan is to go to the summit, then a few of us are going up to Copenhagen to decompress, after which i'll hop on two wheels and head west all the way to Paris, south to Barcelona, and then back up to Ireland. I also promised Anna that we'd go to a demonstration in Berlin together, so i'll have to figure out a way to get back to Berlin to visit. We'll see how the plan changes as things come up.

Last night I went to the Poet and the Patriot, a nice pub in santa cruz with a lot of my close friends to say one last goodbye. It was beautiful to see everyone, and to tell the truth it was sad to drive over 17 for the last time. I'll try to update this regularly, although i don't think i'll be able to post much during the actual summit protest. If you're interested in following how it goes, a couple of links to check up on are:

I cant wait to head off for the trip, and i'll miss all of you greatly. Have wonderful summers everyone, let's keep in touch.
