our trip to europe...

well, we've already been back in the states for almost 2 weeks..still experiencing a vacation high though. to sum it up, our trip to europe was amazing. we changed our route a little, planned as we went and thoroughly enjoyed living a whole different life for 16 days. we already want to go back. there's so much to talk about but instead of writing a novel about all our adventures, i'll post pictures with stories over the next little bit of time..our trip in summary included 3 days in paris, a train to lorient (part of the brittany area on the west coast of france), 2 days in lorient (visiting our friend, baptiste), a train through bordeaux down to st. jean-de-luz (french side of the basque country-south france/north spain on the atlantic), bus to san sebastian (spanish side of the basque country) for 5 days, bus to bilbao and a flight to barcelona for the remaining 6 days. we lived on baguettes, cheese, fruit, chocolate-filled croissants, crepes, tapas, wine and gellato. we saw some amazing sites, met some amazing people, walked off all the calories in the chocolate-filled croissants and enjoyed the ease of european life to the fullest. here are a few shots to give you a taste of our adventures...
