Backed up on the blog, but here are some pics....

As I'm sure you can tell, keeping up with the blog has been a challenge lately. I've been too busy with work, planning trips, and travelling to do much writing the past month. I knew if I ever got behind, it would be impossible to catch up. I'm sure this is a relief for some of you. Since I probably won't be caught up until well after I'm back home, I figured I would at least send out the pictures. We have had some great trips the past few weeks.

June 28-30: Berlin, Germany
A very interesting city with so much recent history. Did a bike tour and then wandered around some more of the sites, went to the Checkpoint Charlie Museum, watched the Euro2008 final match where Spain beat Germany 1-0.

July 3-6: Burgundy, France
We stayed in Beaune, France and did some Burgundy Wine Touring and Tasting - they are known for their Pinot Noir. We also stopped in Dijon for a couple hours to see that town and get a taste of some great Dijon Mustard. Kevin, from Zurich, joined us and then we stopped in Zurich for a night on the way back.

July 11-13: Venice, Italy
This was probably our best weekend together of the whole trip. Most of our weekends have been meeting up with other friends which has been so much fun, but we really enjoyed some time with just the two of us, in this amazing city. Our hotel was right on a quiet canal and we had the best time there just wandering around the narrow streets and canals, Piazza San Marco, a gondola ride, a nice dinner, and eating lots of gelato. We also stopped at our favorite restaurant in Innsbruck, Austria on the way back - we had to drive right through, and it was a good way to break up the 6+ hour drive.

This weekend, we are off for another long weekend in Vienna, Austria and Budapest, Hungary. Laura's friends, Karen and Matt (from London), are meeting us for the trip. Then next week is our last week here in Germany. We then take an 8 day vacation touring through Italy (Island of Capri, Sorrento/Amalfi Coast, Pompeii, Rome, Florence, Cinque Terre, and Milan), before returning to Atlanta on August 2. I may not have a chance to get any more posts done before we get home, but I'll at least try to get the Vienna/Budapest pictures up next week.
