What's this blog all about?

I’ve read that the Eiffel Tower is composed of 18,308 iron pieces that combine to create a 990 foot sparkling masterpiece. I’ve read that the prestigious and historic University of Oxford is truly a captivating “city of dreaming spires.” I’ve even heard that sometimes on a quiet night you can almost hear the triumphant screams of the Roman Gladiators reverberating off of the white marble columns of the Colosseum. I’ve read all of these things, but I have seen none of them. Like millions of Americans, I have never seen Europe, but that is all about to change. This fall, I will be travelling to Europe for a year in which I will be reporting for Palestra.net, a website owned by FOX News. I will be embarking as a first time voyager to Europe, and I would like you to come along with me. What would you like to see or know about Europe? Do you want to see the beauty of the Eiffel Tower? Would you like to know how Europeans view Barack Obama or John McCain? What would you like to know? Tell me, and I can bring you all of this. Would you like to be a part of my journey? Come on, relax, and travel with me across seas.

How does it work?

I intend to chronicle every step of my trip to Europe and include regular biweekly reports from Europe. I want you to play an integral role in my trip abroad. How? Please post exactly what you would like to know or see from Europe. Do you want me to take a trip to the Colosseum? Do you want see the places around Oxford's campus where Harry Potter was filmed? Do you want me to take a poll in London? You tell me, and I will do my best to report exactly what you as the viewer would like to see. I will post the links to my frequent Palestra.net reports right here on this blog.
