It's not every day a couple of average Joe's (and Joanne's) like ourselves get to visit a foreign country...let alone three. But we did. And it changed our lives.
Take a peek at a few of the pictures from the trip we took from April 10 to April 20, 2002.

Behold, Notre Dame.	Stopping to pose for an arm length shot in front of the French Senate	One of the many Luxembourg Gardens
Our home for three days in Paris, the Hotel Lindberg	Some hunk of iron we saw...	A most triumphant Arc
She's old....and hot	The remarkable gardens at Versailles	The Itty Bitty Smart Car

The Colosseum...what can we say about this amazing structure?	The center of the Ancient Roman Government - The Forum	The relatively new Trevi Fountain built in 1762
St Peter's Basilica in the Vatican	Amazing art and architecture inside the Basilica	Breathtaking view from atop the St Peter's dome of the Vatican Plaza
Olivia's heart-wreching goodbye to the Colosseum	All aboard Eurorail for Munich!

Train ride thru the Austrian Alps en route to Munich	The massive Frauenkirche cathedral towers	World's largest coo-koo clock in Marienplatz
World's largest beer hall, the infamous Hofbrauhaus	MMMmmm...Bavarian munchies and a litre	Memorial to the 30,000 killed at the Dachau concentration camp, "The Living Honor the Dead"
It so...big! The Tower at Olymipiaplatz	The bullit ICE train we never got to ride, parked in the Hauptbahnhof	Queue up Eric Johnson, a foggy view of the white Cliffs of Dover on our flight home to the US
