Well we’ve been moping for like three days about how sad we are that our trip is over, and it’s time to go home. Don’t get us wrong, home is wonderful and there’s a lot of cool stuff going on there, but this trip has been amazing. Today started off…

This is what we did today: Stef here: I kind of almost didn’t want to go to the Eiffel Tower. When I was making plans January through August, I definitely wanted to go. Then I got to Europe and did a bunch of the touristy things. They were exhausting, kind…

I’m sure Paris is full of charming neighborhoods, but today we visited the most charming we will visit on this trip. We went to Montmartre. This area had the most distinctive character of anywhere we’ve been in the city yet, and really reminded us of some of the elegant small…

Daniel and I aren’t huge art museum people. When people ask us what we’re going to do in Europe, or have suggestions about where to go, they often assume we’re headed to museums…and we’re usually not. But today we made an exception, for the exceptional Musee d’Orsay. This used to…

Not a ton to report today – we spent 7am to 5pm traveling from Barcelona to Paris, so the day was short on adventures. In good news, we are both feeling very good health-wise. In further good news, we are in Paris! It is incredibly hard to believe we are…

After five weeks, tomorrow we leave for the final leg of our journey as we head north for a week in Paris. Tomorrow will be our last train ride (Stef has loved the train rides). Today was our last day in Barcelona. It’s a time of some reflection. For many…
