EUROPE

I just got back last week from our two weeks in Italy and my and Rebecca's week in Austria. (I'm going to post pictures as soon as I get organized.) I had such an amazing time. Italy is obviously beautiful and Vienna and Salzburg have their own charm. Tuscany is everything you imagine. In Austria it's green unless it's a rock. We kept ourselves on a strict schedule, trying to see as much as possible. I kept a running total of some of the more common things we did:

Churches Viewed~23
Towers Climbed~5
Concerts Performed~5
Concerts/Operas Watched~2
Forts Explored~3
Museums Patronized~14
Flights Endured~6
Trains Enjoyed~7
Cities Visited~Frankfurt, Siena, Monteroni, San Gimignano, Montepulciano, Montalcino, Chianti, Firenze (Florence), Buonconvento, Roma, Wien (Vienna), Salzburg, Werfen, Munich, and exotic Los Angeles.

Including the Colosseum, 3 homes of Mozart, viewing Michelangelo's David and the Pieta, the Vatican, and the Trevi Fountain.
Stay posted (get it), for more on my tour.
