Look for an ecotour or a local political meeting on monday or tuesday. Communing with those who share your values in a foreign place is a mind-expanding (and possibly life-changing) experience. If you find yourself flailing a bit during the latter part of the week: where did those tickets go!? : don't panic. A concierge or travel agent can help find pertinent toll-free numbers or offer tips to get you back on track. Then travel's pretty much electric this weekend: shocking in the best possible ways, and jolting you into amazing self-discovery.
