In September of 2007 we traveled to Europe. We spent 5 days in Paris, Versaille and Luxembourg, France. Then we traveled to Germany to visit with our friends Markus and Conny and their family and we traveled with them to Dahner-Felsland and through part of Germany on the Romantic Road for a week. From there we went on to Venice, Italy for 2 days, then we cut across the country to the beautiful Cinque Terre Natl. Park, it was such an awesome place! We also rented a car and drove around the Tuscany towns and villas and to Florence for a several days. Our last week we spent in Rome and and visited Pompeii and the the Mediterranea Sea port at Ostia Lido where we spent our last night. It was a trip of a lifetime!
