Sorry for the delay in posting our most recent adventures. We are currently in Florence, Italy with Ryan and Julita and are lacking consistent wifi connection.
Last week we were in Strasbourg, France. We were lucky enough to get to share the home of our dear friends Jeff and Ilona. Thank you to both of you for making our visit so incredible. You guys made us want to move in with you and never leave. You truly allowed us to experience Alsatian culture and we can't wait to repay your kindness someday soon. Each day was filled with relaxation, site seeing, and incredible cuisine. Here are some pictures from our stay. There were so many great moments, but here are a few highlights from our trip. MERCI BEAUCOUP, DANKE SEHR, DJIEKUJE BARDZO, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!! (Ilona speaks French, German, Polish and English). I speak one language, but i can say hello in five or six which basically makes me fluent. Please enjoy the following pictures.

Just looking at all these pictures makes me miss Strasbourg, but I know we will be back someday. Our next post will be from Florence, Italy and then on to Venice for six days. Stay tuned for more fun and excitement and remember to live your dreams whenever possible!
