Gondolas, French, the Alps, and Vespas....

Bonjour! Many of you know that I am headed to the south of France in August. Looking ahead to what is sure to be a TRIP OF A LIFETIME I have a list of goals I wish to accomplish while abroad.
~ I will strive to gain fluency in French during my time there. I will find a conversation partner, ask tons of questions, and do my very best to not fall back on my English. 
~ Barring unforeseen circumstances and financial destitution I shall spend my weekends and holidays traveling Europe, particularly Italy, Spain, and Switzerland. I shall document my travels through photography. 
On a more personal level I desire to do a few very specific (and somewhat random things) including: 
-ride a gondola down the Grand Canal in Venice
-go hiking in the Alps
-ride a Vespa through the streets of Italy
-go sailing in the Mediterranean
- sing on a street corner for money 
All of which out to help make my time overseas as memorable as possible :D
