Bala and Rob do Europe
In and around Europe
This is going to be five exciting weeks. By the end of it we should have travelled through parts of England, Scotland, France and Italy; celebrated our first wedding anniversary and still be on talking terms. Along the way we hope to take lots of pictures and hopefully write a lilttle bit about the sights and sounds for friends and family back in the USA. Feel free to make suggestions for things to do and places to visit along the way.
