The Last Post...or is it?

And home we go.
2 great weeks in Europe.

Here are some of our favorite memories:

1.) It didn't rain once. (Is that a memory?)
2.) Watching Olga sharpen her knives.
3.) Sitting on the river in Paris for two hours, waving to the tourists on les Bateaux Mouches.
4.) Spezi, spaetzal, schnitzel, and escargot!
5.) The Statten Island losers.
6.) Views of the mountains. ("My name is Bin. Take a look at the beautiful biew of the billage!")
7.) Sound of Music tour.  Seeing all the locations in the film...and then watching the film and screaming, "I'VE BEEN THERE!"
8.) Eating Vietnamese with Arnie and Benedicte.
9.) The Chocolate Obama Milkshake at Breakfast in America.
10.) Salt Mine Tours, wearing blue jumpsuits!
11.) Leah and Mariah's secret late night parties at the hostel in Paris, where they went partying...or did they?
12.) Eating doughnuts in the middle of a field.
13.) Taking 4,500 photos of Mariah. :)
14.) Going to the many parks and gardens in Paris.
15.) Beer being spilled on us the moment we pass under a bridge.
16.) Dinner at Arnie's!
17.) Salzburg, horse dumplings, and many tours!
18.) Leah being bumped to business class on the way to Stuttgart.
19.) Mr. Tim Swallow.
20.) The Waldluft, the Brits, the wifi.
21.) D.I.A. stories.
22.) Catholic mass on Easter Eve. Apparently it rained...but we didn't see it!
23.) Mrs. Isaacs' Easter baskets. :)
24.) Smelling smoke and immediately assuming our converters are on fire.
25.) 10 Things I Hate about You,  and deep theological talks at 2 AM (Ambassador Starbucks...)

26.) And the perhaps the most important: David blowing his nose for 25 minutes straight and Leah coaching him through it.

Things we've missed:

Mariah: cable, refills, boneless buffalo wings, cheap meals, dollar menu, Taco Bell, driving, singing wherever we want. And last but not least, Little Natalie.

David: Oh, jeez! What did I miss? Okay, Eliana, driving, school...just kidding. Oh! I miss hearing my language everywhere. Using American dollars.  And last but not least, I miss Batchelor.

Leah: I miss singing in my car, my cat, my other cat, water being free, and last but not least, my van.

The best EVER spring break.

The End.
