Expense Summary

Being an accountant at heart, I kept pretty good records of all the money I spent this summer. One of the reasons I do it is because it is like a game almost to see how far I can go on a small amount of cash. This year's travels lasted almost three months, and came to a grand total of almost $4000 including a few extra things here and there. Here is the breakdown by country.
