So I'm leaving Portland at the crack tomorrow, heading
off to Italy, Turkey, Croatia & Greece on a 11 day trip. I've been looking to get a backpack for some daytripping but couldn't find a cool one so I decided to just make one! 
I found the woven mexican fabric at a thrift store the other day. The navy pebble cloth is xobag leftovers and the straps I took off a crappy backpack I found for free. Total cost: $3!  Now... off to bed.
