As my part of this European vacation has come to an end, it is time to let the blogging begin. I figure it is best to start from the ending. So on our last night in Rome, Rebeca and I went through some of our best and worst times throughout Europe. You will notice several food categories but what can I say? You have to eat and we might as well refine our pallet a little along the way. Most of all I want to say thank you to Rebeca and Kim for introducing me to some amazing European adventures that are truly unforgettable in my life. So without further embellishment, here is our List (Open to revision later).
Commercial break as I find the list....And we're back!
