I'm BACK!!

I cannot believe that I did what I just did!! I just completely 16 days wandering around Europe! I have 667 pictures (after deleting duplicates and bad ones... I took over 1200 I think!) I have so many memories that I could devote 6 months worth of blogs to all that I experienced, but no one wants that...

Instead I'll leave it to your thoughts - How much of Europe do you want to see? A post for each day or a post for each country? I am leaning towards each country just for the mere fact that I'm off again in a week for more adventures and I don't have a lot of free time before then... but I will leave it to your vote.

To also give you something in this post (pictures are still uploading, so I can't give you them yet)... I will impart my highlights from each stop on our tour:
