Last summer,I had just enough money saved to buy a golden ticket—a-month train pass that would take me to the furthest reaches of Europe. Excited for my journey, I_________all the necessary stuff—_________the guidebook.

While waiting in a queue to see Michelangelo’s Statue of David in Florence, I met a man who showed me his_________of “Top 20 Things to do in Italy” and told us_________that he’d “seen” everything Italy has to offer in just four days.

We chatted happily, which resulted in an invitation to a beautiful Estonian home by a river where we enjoyed a wonderful sauna(桑拿), locally picked forest-mushrooms and the good__________of our five new-found Estonian friends, we sure were glad we had left our bossy aunt a home.
