The Game

A three week sprint through Europe centered on the Alps...at whence two players (predetermined) continue battling it out- for the next five weeks.

The Rules

Quite a few, for the first three weeks, and then absolute anarchy.

First stop Philly

Our first red eye landed us in the historic city of Philly, land of cheese steaks, the liberty bell, and murder capital USA...

The quick sprint through the liberty bell was enough to catch that it was the American symbol of freedom and independance. Unfortunately, the liberty bell was cracked shortly after the civil war, 'never to ring again.'

Next stop, via red-eye flight, Milan. With a quick train to Bolzano---

'Til the next blog- adieu.
