Europe: The Final Frontier
In and around Europe
Well, we've made it. There were points when we didn't know if we were ever going to make it out, but here we are. Despite some ups and downs, our tour through Asia was incredible. With the exception of a few places, the people were great, the food was amazing, and the sights were world class.
We're excited to be in Europe now thought. Only a few minutes on the ground and we are already knee deep in cheese, wine, and most importantly...Family. We only have about two months to get around, and since one of those months will be devoted to Italy, the rest is going to be a wirl-wind tour of must see places and people. We hope that everyone enjoys the last leg of our trip. Hopefully it will be on par with everything that has preceeded it.
