SUMMER + HIATUS

Parting is such sweet sorrow. 

Alas, I shall be back. You can look forward to more glittastic posts starting August 10th.
Feel free to roam the young archives of Glitterature in my absence.
 For now, I will leave you with the wonderful plans that are my summer.

 (Its my blog, I do what I want.)

July 3rd-5th: visiting family in England. My grandparents 50th anniversary and my uncle's birthday! Hooray! We'll be splitting our time between the beautiful little town of Winchester...

  ...the bustling and intoxicating London town...

 

and the beautiful little village of Bledington.

Afterwards we head to Ibiza- an island off the eastern coast of Spain. 

See earlier posts.

Then I leave on the 15th with my older sister Selina to meet up with my friend Amelia- 

to backpack Eastern Europe!!

Our (incredibly loose) itinerary:

Istanbul, Turkey

Sofia, Bulgaria

Belgrade, Serbia

Budapest, Hungary

Bratislava, Slovakia

Prague, Czech Republic

 Berlin, Germany

 

Amsterdam, Netherlands

THEN I part ways with my lovely travel partners and fly? train? walk? to Athens (where I demand that the rioting will be finished and we shall all come to a peaceful conclusion) and meet up with my past and future roommates Richard and Ariella (and dearly missing our fourth who is studying in STL this summer). Richard will be coming from Morocco where he has spent the summer studying Arabic and Ariella will be coming from Italy where she has been studying art. So we will no doubt be exhausted, multi-lingual, dirty (in my case) and ready to party. 

We'll (hopefully) be hitting up Athens

 Santorini

 and Mykonos!

HUZZAH! then back to the good ole' ATX for the small remainder of summer. Then the cycle completes in St. Louis for junior year. Psycheddd.
