Catch up

So reviewing this blog i realized we did not finish talking about all the places we visited in Europe AFTER August 30, 2009.  For the next three months we travelled by boat, train, plane and automobile.  Besides several stops in Greece including Santorini, Mykonos and Delos we travelled to Istanbul, Ephesus, Split, Dubrovnik, Sicily, the ruins of Pompeii, Rome, Tuscany, and finally Barcelona. 

We loved Barcelona and we were there for a week before carrying on our journey by train across Europe.  Our first stop after Barcelona was Marseille and neighboring Provence for two weeks. Then train to Frankfurt to visit a dear friend.  After Frankfurt, Prague and Budapest.  From there we took the train to Austria to visit my Aunt and her family at their Bed and Breakfast in Bad Ischl.   They have a lovely bed and breakfast called Alpine Meadows.  After a week there we took off for home routed through Ireland.

It was a great trip.  We really enjoyed seeing Europe.   

And so ended our year abroad.  Terrible recap but I felt it needed closure.
