Or something like that. You know we couldn’t end our blog without at least one story of traveling mishaps. So there is a little thing called “Summer Time” (CEST) in Europe which is like our daylight savings time – everyone jumps forward an hour and you “lose” an hour of sleep. We knew this […]
…and then there is Paris.
We are safely back in the States now and are attempting to finish updating you on the last leg of our travels: Paris. Don’t mind the grammatical tenses – this was written IN Paris but we’re just now posting it. Don’t worry, I know you understand. *Ahem* You know how some places you visit […]
In Bruges…
We are frantically trying to catch you up to our actual current location: Bruges (or Brugge) Belgium. It has been quite odd adding the posts to our blog that were written day of, but not posted until later. Oh well, just start from the bottom and work your way up if you want it to […]

Prague by Foot
Upon waking up for Day 2 in Prague it was raining in earnest, prompting us to borrow a second umbrella from the front desk. We headed up to the castle climbing very steep hills and stairs, which offered beautiful slightly hidden views of the city. At the top we happened upon the changing of the […]
