I have so many stories to share that I don’t know where to begin, and I have lots, and lots of pictures. Exactly 959 pictures. Don’t worry, I won’t post them all (Facebook friends will eventually be able to see them all). I had to go back to work yesterday, and Teen Angel started college yesterday, so we barely had time to wash our underwear before the normal grind began again. We are still somewhat jet lagged, and we have so much to catch up on that I will simply hit the highlights in this post and share much more with you in the days to come.
A Few of our Favorite Things
The politeness of the British people (please mind the gap)
The Beefeaters at the Tower of London
Writing our names on the wall at Abbey Road Studios
The rainbow at the top of the Eiffel Tower
Sainte Chappelle
Amarino’s cantaloupe ice cream
Things we did not Like
Having my phone stolen in the Metro
Being crushed by the incredible crowds at several tourist sites and the rudeness of many line cutting tourists
The map at the Louvre (the definition of useless)
Magical Moments
The double rainbow at the top of the Eiffel Tower followed by the two double rainbows at the Arch of Triumphe
Sitting on the lawn of the Eiffel Tower at sunset watching the tower lights comes on
My first bite of Amarino’s cantaloupe ice cream
Things From Home we Missed
Hubby!
Thick toilet paper
Big bathrooms
Vegetables cooked with a dab of bacon grease with a side of buttery biscuits
Iced tea with LOTS of ice (I made Hubby stop right after we left the Nashville Airport Saturday night and get me a large iced tea.)
Again, it was a wonderful time, and I’m so glad Teen Angel and I got to share that trip together. It was an adventure we’ll never forget, including the whole mugging, stolen phone incident. I would love to return to Europe and visit several other countries, but I will admit that right now I’m glad to be home. That’s the thing about travel. It reminds you of why home is home. It’s great to be back with family, to not stand in line for anything, to DRIVE instead of riding the subway and to move at a much slower pace. Yes, we are more relaxed around these parts, and I have decided that I’m okay with that. Just as long as I can sneak out into the big wide wonderful world every now and then for a little adventure.
