Fleeing the country

This Saturday I will be self-imposing a temporary exile from the United States and Technology (most likely). I am off to Rome, Italy to watch my girlfriend (Dana Vollmer) represent the United States at the World Swimming Championships. After the competition, her and I are going to travel Northern Italy and Southern France + Paris for 2 weeks.

Her and I are traveling in just 1 carry-on size backpack each and don't have any official plan, just general destinations (such as the Eiffel Tower,the Colosseum, and Venice). The one thing I actually went ahead and planned was a special tour of the excavations below St. Peter's Basilica which includes the original grave of St. Peter. Should be quite the trip and a nice escape from everything (not that I need/want an escape since my job is amazing!)

Nice save on the "love my job". Have a great time and tell Dana we are all rooting for her.
