European Leg

We took a 2-week side trip to Europe and did a whirlwind 5-country tour with Rick Steves.

Since this blog is a North American Road trip I will just post a few pictures here and not go into detail. This tour was a great experience; and just to give the kids a taste of different cultures. We will return at some future time and spend more time exploring the places we enjoyed most. Specifically, Italy. Rome, Florence, and Venice were spectacular!
Austria was a beautiful country. Below is Crazy Ludvig's castle, which Walt Disney modeled Cinderellas castle after.

We only had the opportunity to spend 1 afternoon in Florence; and I felt robbed. The history and art in this city is beyond description.



In Rome, at every turn, there are masterpieces adorning most buildings.



After our 2-weeks in Europe we returned to the states, jet-lagged and worn out.
