Hello all! Kristina and I have been having an incredible time so far traveling the buses and trains across southern Europe. We stepped off the plane a week and a half ago in Madrid, Spain. After settling into our hotel we took to the streets, found a relaxing and beautiful park known as Retiro and paid 4,50 euro to rent a row boat and glide out onto a huge pond. It was a glorious sunny day and we felt like the first day in Europe was already the best day. Thus we decided that at the end of each day we needed to be able to say to one another, “This is the best day of our trip,” making each day better than the last.
I have so much to say about each location we have been, but so little time and really pictures would make the explainations all the better. So far we have visited Madrid, Barcelona, Paris, and are now in Venice, spending three nights in each location. Each stay has been completely unique and marvelous. We have had incredible luck in transitions and have met some great new friends at our hostels and sitting in parks or on trains.
Well, I must be off, but until the next post: Cheers!
