Three weeks in Europe...

We're back! And we had an amazing time travelling in Europe. Alanna, Daniel and I spent three weeks travelling in France, Italy and Greece and we saw so much. Alanna and I started our trip in London and spent a few days seeing the sights and then met up with Daniel in Paris. We happened to be in Paris for their independence celebration and got to see fireworks in front of the Eiffle Tower - very cool. After Paris, we headed to Marseille and we got to see both the World Cup of Beach Soccer and the AVP Beach Volleyball. From there we went to Venice which was a very unique city with all its canals and bridges. Then off Rome which was one of my favorite cities with its history and monuments. From Rome, we headed to Crete which was absolutely beautiful and our hotel was upgraded to a 5 star resort so we were pampered. We took a very long ferry ride from Crete to Athens and spent a few says seeing the ancient sights. Overall, we had a great time and it was a blessing to be able to spend this time with my siblings.

I tried to narrow down our pictures to just a few but here is a glimpse of our trip...
