The Nomadic Adventurers Return Home

With all of the experiences and adventures we have had, we feel like we have gained wisdom and insight into the whole European culture. It is amazing the differences between each location we have visited. We feel qualified to explain the differences between European Heaven and European Hell.

In European Heaven:
the British are the Police,
the Germans are the Mechanics,
the French are the Cooks,
the Italians are the Lovers,
and it is all organized by the Swiss.

In European Hell:
the Germans are the Police,
the French are the Mechanics,
the British are the Cooks,
the Swiss are the Lovers,
and it is all organized by the Italians.

Thank you one and all for your interest in our travels. Your interest kept us going and in touch with home. Without that we might have had to cut out the last month! We have truly enjoyed our Adventure, but it is definitely time to go home. We feel like the entire stay was too long and that we stayed too long in some of the places. We have agreed that probably one month is long enough for any one trip, that ten days is the longest for any one place, and that we enjoy the rural, small towns much more than the big ones.

We have taken about 3500 pictures, so you’ve only seen a small sampling of them on this blog. If anyone is interested, just drop me a note, and I will email all 3500 of them to you! (just kidding! ☺)
