Laura and I are planning to take 2 weeks at the beginning of November to see Every City in Europe. We looked at a wall-map in the kiddy section of a bookstore and developed a list based on the one city listed for each country.
London
Berlin
Coppenhagen
Sweden (Hell, why not, we'll be up in the neighborhood anyway)
Prague
Vienna
Rome
Barcelona
Paris
Then it occured to me that we might as well plan a road trip in the states by planning to visit every state capitol. We narrowed the list down to:
London
Prague
Rome
Barcelona
Paris
and two new destinations:
- Hamburg Germany--because that's where my Great Grandpa was from
- Venice--because the Eat Pray Love lady managed to slip in the sentance "Oh, that's just Satan's hungry maw" when describing Venice. Can't miss it!
So, if you have any reccommendations : castles to visit, tourist attractions Not To Be Missed, please address them to Kat: care of Year Without Baseball. Anyone who sends in a winning suggestion will be rewarded with the ugliest postcard I can find in said place.

you missed out Nottingham, Portland House, Lancaster uni and Hinckley!!!
theres castles round here, shakespeares house isnt far either and i could take you to Bosworth Battlefield which you can see on the postcard me mum sent you
the highlight might be the butler though. pack your white gloves and a nice frock darling!
Sounds like a cool trip. I sent you some suggestions. Beware the pigeons in St. Marks square in Venice.
I agree with Ruth. It sounds like a good list, except for the important places you have missed out in the uk!! Also, don't forget the date you need to be in the uk for...remember, remember the 5th november...
i think you should go to transalvania. see dracula's castle and i think dr frankenstien had a castle there. possibly count chocula (well the count might be from jersey).
go see the queen for me! put another shrimp on the barbee! please see the palace! and send me a picture of you with one of the guards! foreal gurl. and I'll bet Zaiden and Wes would think Big Ben was cool too.
