When buying rail passes for Europe, does "x days in 2 months" mean within two calendar months or within a 60-day period from the first day traveled? Thanks.

From FAQ on the Eurail website (www.eurail.com), "If you order a Global Pass - choose 10 days within 2 months and you activate your pass to be valid from April 1 to May 30.... ". Note: That's 60 days, not 2 months (May has 31 days). If it were 2 months, people Traveling in July and August would get a bargin, people in Jan and Feb would get .. ah .. gyped.

It does not mean two calendar months. Here's a quote from the Global Pass section on eurail.com: "The Global Pass gives you unlimited train travel for 10 or 15 days of your choice, within an overall period of 2 months."

You did not ask and there is no indication where you will go but beware the use of RailPasses and the value they offer or not - http://www.seat61.com/Railpass-and-Eurail-pass-guide.htm#Should you buy a railpass or pay-as-you-go Do the maths.
