Once again, real life instead of fandom

[amelia_petkova]

I´m thinking about the traveling I want to do this semester, while I´m on mainland Europe. Unlike the other students, I don´t have urges to visit a different country every weekend. (I´m far too boring/laid-back.) It´s almost certain that I will be visiting Galway. I would also like to explore the northern area of Spain (as we don´t have any group trips in that region) and Wales. (I must restrain myself from reading TDiR.) This time, I´m asking for travel advice. For anyone who has been here, what specific cities/towns do you recommend going to, is train or bus better for going around Spain, and anything else you can think of. I´ll have a better idea of what I can do after I make the final payment for the group trip to Seville in March. (al-Andalusia! Yay!) I can´t stay here every weekend; much as I like Valencia, I´m not an all-out party girl, and I need to find other things to do.

*Sigh*
All the sites I'd reccomend are a bit too far East to be practical. Also under military occupation. I could hook you up with a few people in London, though.

Sites in Wales being east, you mean? And what´s this about military occupation? I won´t be in London long enough to meet anybody, but I appreciate the offer!

Well, no.

As you may have noticed, I'm into archeology. There are some truly fascinating places in Turkey. Also Iraq...

Yeah, I´m really into anthropology in general. I wish my school offered it as a major instead of just a minor. I´ve been to Turkey once; a couple years ago some other students, the teacher, and I went to Bulgaria for a few weeks, and we briefly stopped in Istanbul at the end of the trip. So many interesting places to visit! Too bad that the Middle East is such a mess, and that so many artifacts have been destroyed.
