Our European odyssey was a success. We saw family and friends, ate wonderful food, enjoyed incredible sites and relaxed. What a difference three weeks can make.
Seeing my stepson and his family was the highlight of the trip. He has grown so much. Three years ago he was only an inch or two taller than me. Now he towers over me. Height isn't the only difference. This time I noticed that his face had lost a little boyishness. He is growing up. Fortunately, he hasn't lost any of his sweetness.
Our first stop was Madrid where the food is incredible and wine is even better. We enjoyed art, tapas and a little too much sangria.
Next we went to the Ukraine. The food there was incredible. The scenery breathtaking and our friends gracious hosts. From there we went to Germany.
And our final stop was the always lovely Amsterdam. Home to mouthwatering restaurants, stroopwaffels, canals and coffeehouses. A good time was had by all!
