2 weeks and 2 days

I've thought about the best way I should share my trip. Sixteen days would make for a lot of info and one that I think you would find particularly boring. I mean really when you think of it what makes up a trip? For me its the experiences that were shared. The laughs that were had while telling story after story while cruising along the Mediterranean. The experience of getting stuck in Houston and loosing our luggage for 10 days. The many individuals we met that kept us laughing. The inside jokes shared. Sitting and talking for hours each night while all the other passengers got drunk. What can be said than we had a most excellent time. It truly was an amazing trip and one I won't soon forget.

I wrote in a journal while I was there so the small little details, each place we went, and my thoughts are all written down...really glad I did it and would encourage you all to do the same. So instead of recounting it all, like I said you may find it all boring, I will share with you a few of my favorite photos. In my book it's the best way to really experience a trip you didn't go on.

I must say it was very very difficult to choose and I didn't want to make this post too long so you can check here for more of my Europe photos.

Amy-
Fantastic photos. I think our next European stop will have to be Greece. You have captured such gorgeous pieces of each of your cities.

Tasha said...

Gorgeous! Talk about paradise found! (well, not the same outfit for 10 days, but the rest of it certainly!)

Angie said...

Beautiful photos as usual. For sure an adventure you won't soon forget, except the lost luggage part. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Jill said...

All of these photos are stunning, but that first one from Greece made me gasp out loud.

Anne said...

I had a similar reaction as Jill. I think I need to visit Greece somday! What gorgeous pictures!

michelle said...

Amy, these photos are amazing! If I had just a portion of your photographic talent... I was feeling very partial to the ones of France, but then I got to Greece. Oh my. You've definitely peaked my curiosity!

I have the same thoughts on greece as many of you. I think it had to be my most favorite place to shoot the entire trip.

Liz said...

Amy, These photos are breathtaking! It looks like it was the trip of a lifetime! I enjoyed hearing your thoughts on some of the places when we were at Jill's house. If I were you, I would be wanting to go back, and soon! Florence and especially the first Greece pictures are just gorgeous! I definitely want to go there! Thanks for posting some pictures!

I can't even begin to describe the emotions I felt while looking through all your pictures.

Please, when you have a few minutes to spare, email me the pros/cons and details about the cruise.

Breathtaking. And moving.

Since I was a child, I have always longed to go to GREECE! Now, I am certain I must go!
I would love (as Dana said)to know about your trip and if you would do it that way again (with luggage this time...) I have gone on several cruises - just not outside of the Carribean.
FANTASTIC photos! Best? Worst? thing on your trip? Any changes you would make?

You make it look Europe look so romantic, as only you could. Wouldn't you love to have the subject matter available there here to shoot?

Amy, I love all your pictures!!! I just golt from London, and now I understand why people love Europe, they are just something about how life should be lived there. Thanks for sharing.
