Top Ten Memorable Moments in Europe.
  1. The bird's eye view of London from atop the London eye and every "Amazing Race" landmark following it.

  2. Walking around the corner of your anyday buildings to find the Pantheon and Altare della Patria (Altar of the Fatherland, aka the "Wedding Cake").

  3. Our Austrian tour guide starting each day with "Good morning" and rousing us by tapping the mic and trilling or saying, "Wakey wakey" (Karen may be the only person who appreciates this).

  4. Coasting up the Giudecca Canal up to Venice and thinking we had just entered a magical kingdom. Then seeing the island and St. Mark's Piazza twinkle with lights at night.

  5. Eating gelato in Venice... and Rome... and Florence... and anywhere really.

  6. Getting accosted in Galeries Lafayette to buy Louis Vuitton wallets by a Chinese couple likely heading a fake LV production ring back in the Mainland.

  7. Trying 101 variations of the "Holding the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Your Hand" photograph.

  8. Hearing the sound of the waves crashing and the pebbles tumbling against each other on the pebble beaches in Nice.

  9. Sprinting across Piazza Cavour in Rome so that we wouldn't miss the free shuttle back to the hotel... and then sitting on the shuttle for 15 minutes while it waited for other passengers.

  10. Realizing that the porcelain fixture in the bathroom was in fact a bidet and not the toilet.
