Travelling in Europe

[j_h_smith]

Thanks, travel card that's what it was. I do wish we could have gone to the top of the tower. It was horrible though. Hardly anyone went to the top. People were all huddled together after the first elevator because it was so cold.

It has been known to happen. Even Paris has bad weather sometimes.
but I have to say, I'm not all that fond of Parisians. Many are rude and condescending towards Americans.

I do agree with you about Rome. It was amazing. The food was great, and the attractions were awesome. If I were to go back to Europe, I would definitely want to go to Rome again. There is so much to see and do that we did not come close to doing it all.

You could spend a week in Rome and probably never see everything.

I see where you coming from about the hostels. I contemplated going to hostels, but decided against it. I am not a very social person, so I do not think that I would have enjoyed it. Maybe it I would have gone with a buddy instead, I may have tried one out. I did meet a few travelers while I was there backpacking and staying in hostels. They seemed to enjoy it pretty well.

My son went backpacking throughout Europe after his semester at University of Cork, in Ireland. He liked it alot. If he found something he wanted to buy, he just had it shipped home. That way he was able to enjoy himself without worrying about valuables.

Now if you want to talk about my Nirvana, that would be Southern Ireland in my opinion. Talk about breath taking.
