Our journey through Europe . . . the trip of a lifetime!
When we got married, we made a promise that if we hadn't been to Europe by our 25th anniversary, we would head overseas to celebrate this milestone. Twenty-five years later, we fulfilled that promise to ourselves and enjoyed the trip of a lifetime on our Rick Steves' Best of Europe in 21 Days tour. We had high expectations (25 years worth), and this trip met or exceeded them all. We couldn't be happier that we chose to travel on a Rick Steves tour.
As you travel with us through our scrapbook, look for some of our favorite themes and enjoy our pictures. Click the country button at the top to get an introduction to each segment of the trip, and select an individual day to get more detail and see pictures. Be sure to explore the interactive maps, flashcards and games and go further by following links to related content. On each map, you can zoom in and out as well as choose between map and satellite view. Of course, each person will pull unique experiences from any trip, but the images, reflections and ideas posted on this scrapbook site are the memories that made an indelible imprint on us. We hope that each of you will one day be able to travel to Europe and write your own story. Let this be something of a story-starter! |
