Our First Trip to Europe
a trip by Amber & Preston Hennrich
From: May 6th 2009
Until: May 25th 2009
In just under 3 weeks we visited Germany, the Czech Republic, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, and France. It was incredible! You may want to read the disclaimers below for further information before proceeding to the blog entries.
Disclaimer #1: Preston's camera had an unfortunate meeting with the Vlatva River so we had to use mine for the remainder of the trip. Mine has a crack in the lens so if you are wondering why 85% of our pictures have a dark line through them, that is why.
Disclaimer #2: Almost everywhere we went, everything, especially all of the cool buildings, were under construction. Churches, cathedrals, museums, castles...you name it. You will notice many of our pictures are of scaffolding.
Disclaimer #3: Europe's freeways often do not have shoulders on the side of the road where you can pull over if you decide you want to take a picture. Thus, many of our pictures are blurry from being in a moving car, and some even show the bug splats on the windshield or reflections of whatever was sitting on the dashboard at the time. Sorry about that.
Disclaimer #4: We each kept a travel journal each day of our trip, which is what is written on each day of our blog. We realize it is long so you don't have to read it if you don't want to. We won't be too offended if you would rather just look at pictures.
Disclaimer #5: Make sure to check if there is more than one page of pictures per blog entry.
Disclaimer #6: Last but not least...PICTURES DO NOT DO JUSTICE TO ANY OF THE THINGS WE SAW!! (especially with my terrible camera and photography skills). Just know that everything we saw was 10 times prettier or cooler in real life.
