The time has come...


We cannot believe that we are now on the last night of our trip, day number 55. Tomorrow we fly back to Canada and our European trip will end. The time has flown by!
Our last day in London has been wonderful. We went to the National Gallery and National Portrait Gallery. Both museums were far beyond our expectations and our half day planned in the museums turned into a full day. We also had the fun of a London downpour, which starts as suddenly as it stops, but is an absolute drenching while it lasts. The best thing to do is to find shelter and wait it out. On a strange but true note, we saw a man walking next to us on the sidewalk slip on a banana peel...didn't think that happened in real life, but it did. He went ass over tea kettle.
We have so many great things to list from this trip that it will take us a few days of being back to really sort through the highlights. For now, a brief list (in no particular order): the Greek Island cruise, the hiking in Italy and France, the winding streets of old Lyon, the amazing architecture in London, the Roman sites of Provence, ancient Greek sites in the Peloponnese and, of course, the food that we have enjoyed over the last 8 weeks has been fantastic!
We will post a few more photos and a few more thoughts once we have had a couple of days at home. We have a few things up our sleeve(s) for the summer, and we will update everyone with our other plans as soon as they have been solidified.
Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to read our blog!
