The final destination

As we head toward the border of Switzerland and France, I have a minute to reflect on where I've been:

  • Seven countries, when we get to Paris tonight.
  • Four currencies, of which only the euro was easy for me to grasp. Canadian dollars are ok too.
  • Five languages, and a sixth if you count English spoken the "right" way.
  • Eight hotel rooms, and as many different showers to figure out. The one in Amsterdam takes the prize. Our room near Florence with exposed wiring in the bathroom was the iffiest.
  • Several thousand kilometers on a bus.
  • Several thousand miles in the air.

My European Experience was definitely that. Hopefully I will still speak English and be able to use American dollars when I land in Raleigh.
