Paris doesn't apologize.

Paris, France was overwhelming with all of its historic buildings and its artistic feel... Just plain gorgeous!
Paris memory list:

*Music and art fills the streets!
*The Eiffel should be found in the dictionary as this: "Eiffel Tower" pronunciation  (ro•man•tic)
*Crapes taste better when eaten by Versailles' beautiful lake & garden...
*Mary Antoinette and I may differ when it comes to decor but I guess I see what she was going for in the castle...
*Stumbled upon a red carpet movie premier...
*Watching the girls turn green as I kissed Bradly Cooper, Justin Bartha and Josh Willink...
*A rainbow perfectly placed behind the Eiffel our last night in Europe, coincidence...? Nope, it was a blessing from above!
warning: many pictures to follow...

Switzerland Wins...!


My amazing man put this together, check it out!

Paragliding from Expression Studios on Vimeo.
So it may be because my ancestors are from Switzerland, but this place felt like an epic home away from home!
Switzerland's memory list:

*I wanted to hug an alp... I couldn't.
*I wasn't scared of the mega slide... I should have been.
*I wanted to be lil' miss Swiss... --->
*I wanted to drink lots of tea... --->
*I wanted to walk under a waterfall...   we got wet.
*I wanted to take an alp home... 
  once again, I couldn't.
*I wanted to be high... 
  9,744` elevation did the trick.
*I wanted to hike... we did.
*I wanted to fly... we came close.
*I wanted J to love it too... he did.
*I want to return someday... we will.
We were blessedly surprised to find out our b&b was ON an alp...
Switzerland just plain wins.

Austria... Can I keep you? Germany.. so cozy...

Austria stole our hearts without warning! 

Austria memory list:
*The first king of the Salzburg castle was a smarty pants... Amazing placement of the castle.
*Make sure your bike has more than 3 speeds when biking the Alps... My legs were a bit dizzy.
*Biking  through the Alps with your best friend may create a tear like effect in your eyes...
*Rubber ducks are not hard to find... There purpose was unknown to us so we made a purpose of our own by setting it free own Selzburgs river...
(notice the hislittlelady T^?)
(Mozart's Birthplace ^)
Although only a night in Germany, it was unforgettable...           Germany memory list:                   *Who would'a thought.. we love snow covered Alps too!            *Smoking is okay in restaurants. I had to take "smoke breaks" outside from time to time...
*Met the nicest girl in the world! Helped us with our train plans and even took us back to our b&b in her car.                                    *The smell of wood fires blowing through the hills...

Italy... muah!

Italy was incredible... history and art wrapped into one perfect combo! 
Italy's memory list:

*Laundry hanging out the windows of colorful apartments beside the flower boxes...
*Reading 2 Timothy by the prison where Paul wrote it... un-explainable moment. (Prison cells like the picture to the right is where he would have been kept.)
*My one soggy pizza... J's 9 pizzas in 5 days- he didn't share in my distaste...
*Three attempts and fails of people trying to steal our things..
*Feeling the urge to facepalm all the street salesmen...
*Did I mention the amazing historical buildings? Awesome.
*Saw the Pope release some doves of some sort...
*Eating at a classic Italian restaurant, only thing missing was music... A street performer came right by our table and played his accordion just for us...
*Large butter balls on my pasta instead of meatballs... I need to learn more languages.
