Fabulous.

Here I am in front of the East Side Gallery, a restored section of the wall with some of the most amazing street art you will ever see. This section features tons of people siphoned through a breach in the infamous wall. I thought it was a good image to start my last blog entry from this incredible trip.

I've trying to think of a word to describe my time in Europe. The girl from the Orbit commercials keeps coming to mind; you know, the one who sees something absurd (like mud wrestling or catching bugs with one's teeth) and then grins and says, "Fabulous!" while her teeth sparkle blindingly. Europe as been, in a word, fabulous. Cue teeth sparkle.

The history? Fabulous. The food? Fabulous. The wine/beer? Fabulous. The company? Extra extra extra fabulous. I have had such an amazing time while I've been here, and that is largely thanks to my awesome cousin Erika...
...and my equally awesome dear friend Allison.
Thanks to you ladies, this has been a most spectacular adventure. So, here's an imaginary internet toast to two fabulous chicks who made a fabulous trip to Europe possible. Raise your glasses, friends and family, and I will do this same. To Allison and Erika - a votre sante, prost, and cheers!

Thanks also to friends and family at home, for coming with me on this adventure! I hope you've enjoyed the blog as much as I've enjoyed writing it. I'm just going to have to keep it around for the next adventure...the suggestion box is open for my next big trip. Love to you all, and thanks for keeping things fabulous home front!
