European stereotypes, mapped. 

Not-so-coincidentally, this is also basically the Grand Tourist's map of Europe (although I'd change Italy to "Godfathers and pizza").

Is it weird to make a high-tech map of a low-tech, essentially map-less journey? Possibly. I'm doing it anyway. It's very much a work in progress--eventually, I hope to mark all the places I mention in my blog posts and add lots more photos and videos. For now, though, here's a taste of Amsterdam, Brussels, Berlin, and Munich. Click the link below the map for a larger version
