Here are the 500 or so pictures from our 2005 Europe Backpacking Trip. They might take more than one sitting to go through. Here you will catch a glimpse of the lands we visited, the people we met, and our invaluable experience together on this adventure. We both will remember those days fondly. And while I'm at it, let me tell you the moral of this story---There are many faraway lands to see. But, in the end, there is no place like home...

So come see Europe through our eyes...

Beautiful Vienna...A sophisticated, royal city complete with gardens, palaces, stagecoaches, designer shops in every nook and corner, and Mercedes Benz taxis...
