Hey Everybody!
Well we are in Cologne, Germany right now. We arrived yesterday afternoon, and so far we have seen the HUGE Dom (cathedral) and this morning we went to the Chocolate Museum! We saw how chocolate is made, and the best part was the free samples! We've seen a few more sights, and there is also awesome shopping here! We leave on Friday for Brugge, Belgium, and then Sunday we are getting picked up by my relatives and taken to Holland for a week. Then it's only 2 more days in London, and on the 31st, we will be home! It seems the trip is flying by, but we have done and seen so much it's incredible!
We just spent the last 5 days in Paris and it was awesome! Our hotel was a really short walk from the Eiffel Tower, so we were able to have picnic dinners in the grass at night and watch the tower all lit up, and twinkle its little lights every hour on the hour! Yup, it was very romantic! We saw St. Chapelle and its awesome stained glass windows, and Notre Dame as well. We went to the Louvre and saw the famous Mona Lisa too. Paris is full of things to do and see, and we walked miles and miles around the city! We both really enjoyed our time there...
Before Paris we were in Bordeaux for 2 days, and we really liked it there too. We were able to take a wine tasting class to learn how to use all our senses to properly identify good wines! It was a lot of fun!!
And we were in Spain before that, but we could write for hours telling all about it! I'm sure we'll be able to tell all our stories and show picture upon returning home. Of course, that could take hours too!! Considering I have taken over 2000 pictures!
So, we will be home in 12 days, and are looking forward to filling you in on the rest of the details. Until then, we hope everyone enjoys the last couple weeks of summer, and if we dont get a chance to send another email until then, we'll be in touch upon our arrival back home!!
