An Italian Tuscan vacation for two weeks in late Sept and October and then 4 glorious days in Cinque Terre.
Swimming in the cleanest, most azure blue water in the Ligurian Sea, and then having gelato. Specialty in the region is pasta with pesto! That was fabulous. Or hiking through the ancient villages!
Another....seeing the statue of David in the Accademia in Florence and marveling at his curves and stature.
Another...eating at Enotecca Pinocchorri in Florence which is a three star Michelin restaurant. Having over 10 courses of the most heavenly food, served on elegant china, drinking delicious wines, and getting the royal treatment from the staff. Ahh...Italy!
Or a wonderful capuccino with biscotti people watching in the cafes...everyone is alive and active.

I there are many from our one trip to Europe this year, but to pick two:

Watching our daughter explore Raglan Castle, exclaiming that this was the coolest thing ever - we were the only ones there.

Flirting with the peacocks when we spent the night at Gwydir Castle.

How can I pick just ONE??? How about two? (1) a one-week Adriatic Sea cruise along the coast of Croatia, with Dubrovnik being my favorite destination (absolutely gorgeous, pristine scenery all along the way); (2) spending parts of two days walking among the natural beauty in Plitvice National Park in Croatia (waterfalls everywhere).

Visiting Cyprus in January

watching people ski - then driving down to the beach (30 mins) and watching people sunbathing on the beach.

Walking upon St. Gervais Church in Paris one night, and upon entering the church, saw nuns singing at front of the altar. It was a very solemn experience.

Having cocktails (venetian spritz, of course!) at the 500 year old Bancogiro on the Grand Canal of Venice. Breathtaking.............

Well, I only spent two days in Europe in 2007 (I know - horrors!), but I'd have to say that walking out the door of the hotel LOML and I were staying at in Amsterdam after arriving really late the night before from Kenya and looking up and seeing the most amazing rainbow gleaming over the canals was pretty fine.

My family was in Grindelwald, Switzerland, walking in the snowy dusk last March,when we heard the sounds of an orchestra playing at a church.
It was a concert of professionals, a full orchestra, and the sound was so amazing coming from this beautiful, old church, complete with cemetary in the shadow of the Alps...Oh my, Im back there.........Jane
