If I were to die and come back as a country…

…It would definitely be Austria. Hands down. No contest. Vienna, Salzburg, Halstatt, Melk, the Salzkammergut—I will take it all. This is still my absolute favorite place on earth. I haven’t been everywhere, but I can’t imagine loving anyplace any more. If I didn’t have family or friends back home, this is where you would find me living out my life. I think this trip was my favorite ever because I had my two loves—Austria and Jon. On every other trip I have taken, one or the other was missing. Even though I got sick, I still had the greatest time. I think Jon got pretty sick of me starting the first day because I kept saying over and over “I love this place. I love this place. I LOVE THIS PLACE!” I took 2000 pictures in 10 days! I don’t know what I did before I went digital. Jon said he thinks that Chinese tourists take half the pictures in the world and that I take the other half. :) He is probably right.

Since I am catching up on my blog after the fact, I am just going to post the places we went with a few pictures. We can tell stories some other time.

Again… Best trip ever.
