A LITTLE DETOUR TO THE CINQUE TERRE
The official tour ends but we are motivated by Rick’s rave of Cinque Terre. We must visit this hidden gem.
What did we find? A hiking workout between cities, and we loved it. A dip in the Mediterranean despite rain. Could we return to Texas and not swim in the Mediterranean Sea? No! Focaccia originated here and we ate it. The best balsamic vinegar and we bought it.
A little cherry to top off our sundae of a tour. |
WE NEVER WANT TO SAY GOODBYE
Our trip to Europe was wonderful in many ways for us. Deciding to go was a gift to ourselves that starting giving before we even left home. We joined in planning, preparing, and educating ourselves about the things we would be seeing on our tour. Rick’s guidebooks really helped to enhance this preparation time. The anticipation of sharing 14+ days together as mother and daughters was such a pleasure.
Three ladies in Europe- no concerns or worries. It was nice to know we were in good hands with our guide, and Dimitri really was so thoughtful and helpful on many occasions. He has become a dear friend through this experience.
We loved being together, we enjoyed the group dynamic, we appreciated this beautiful opportunity to see and experience places and parts of the world that make our hearts sing. Europe came to life for us on this trip.
Now the gift continues to give. We have memories, photographs, funny videos and new friends to share. We also have a greater understanding and appreciation for the world around us. This has been a beautiful experience. Our thanks to the Rick Steves' Team for helping to make it happen.
