One 16 L backpack (Timbuk2 Spirit: 39 x 25 x 14) for 2 weeks in Europe via budget airlines and train

I'm further incentivized to keep things light because I have bad knees, scoliosis, and should nature go as expected, be on my period which is very heavy. The only new things I've purchased so far: thule clean/dirty packing cube

To buy: - rain jacket. for some reason I've just never had one. have walked through rain the past several decades sans jacket, much to the dismay of friends, family, coworkers, and acquaintances. was very wet and cold. now might be the time for an investment. - adapter - wool socks - mini tape for journal

The current pack allows for a little space up top for souvenirs! I should also note that the return trip allows one carry on and one personal item, which means I can slowly accumulate things as I go. Please feel free to suggest anything you see fit.
