It was wonderful, amazing, beautiful, perfect.
It was the first time Peter and I have travelled to Europe together & we enjoyed every minute. The weather was hot - but bearable. Sometimes I think I am a European ...just stuck in the life of a Midwest American girl. I just love the coffee, the trains, the wine. Take me back!
Our timeline: June 25: Flight to Munich Germany via Amsterdam
June 26: Arrive in Munich, hop on a 2 hour train to Salzburg, Austria
June 26-27: Salzburg June 28 : Travel day - 8 hour train from Salzburg to Como, Italy (30 min from Milan)
June 29-July 2: Como, Italy
July 3-4: Florence Italy July 4 evening: Travel 2 hour train from Florence to Rome
July 4 evening: Stay in Rome
July 5: Fly home!
Some highlights of the trip:
1. Salzburg. Yes, the whole city. It's beautiful, clean, and walk-able. It is now on my list of favorite cities!
2. Mountains. In Como, Italy we were surrounded by mountains on every side. And our hotel was on a 7-mile long lake that was surrounded by the mountains. We saw beauty like I have never seen before in all my life.
3. Food. Food in Italy is the best. We had many dinners in Italy with the Cargill group. 4-courses were normal. Let's just say I had to go on a post-trip diet :)
4. Marriage. I love my husband and I love travelling with him. We are compatible travellers and love to visit the same things. He is such a great navigator...I love that about him.

The pic of you two on the bridge in Florence is totally my fave! I feel like it should be in a magazine or something! Your trip was amazing!
