What I did on my summer vacation

Hi All,
Its been a long time since last I updated my blog. I have been waiting for an opportunity for a truly interesting blog post. For my first summer living in Europe, I went on an amazing trip. You could say "Trip of a Lifetime". But I am planning on doing it this again... I have been taking full advantage of living in Europe.

This trip consisted of 14 cities, 5 countries, 5 different languages, 4 planes, 1 train, 3 rental cars, 11 different hotels and endless taxis, buses and subway rides. It cost approximately 2,500 euros per person (i travel, hotel and meals.)

Luis's parents were visiting from Chile. They were in Europe for a total of 6 weeks. This was their first and probably only trip to Europe. So it was our job to show them Europe! While of course, discovering a lot for ourselves. We went Paris, Rome, Athens, Edinburgh, Callander, Glasgow, Bilbao, Madrid, Barcelona, Girona, and Carcasonne.

Elise! Looks like you had a great time running around Europe! Did you go to the Prado or Reina Sofia in Madrid? Two of my most favorite museums!

Hope you're well,
Adam
