It’s nearly impossible to narrow down my favorite 10 things I saw, did and ate in Europe.
There were just too many.
From seeing the famous Rosetta Stone in the British Museum to noshing on paprika-flavored chips (or crisps) while waiting for the metro, my European adventure provided so many memories. I loved walking along the tree-lined Avenue des Champs-Élysées in Paris and riding around London on double-decker buses. It was fascinating to watch the members of the House of Commons in London debate over a blood contamination case or witness a traditional French wedding reception in Avignon.
These are unforgettable experiences, for sure.
But in the spirit of Nonstop — we love our lists! — I’ve put together a list of my Top 10 best memories of Europe, in no particular order.
I hope you enjoy this one last look at Europe as much as I did putting this gallery together!
First off, breakfast!

Awesome pics, Cat… thanks for helping me plan my (probably well in the distant future) trip to Europe!
i love how the food pics end in paris! i was drooling and getting full, thinking abt when i can get my next crepe, when boom! we’re on the tube (only 4 pics left?) and end up at a soccer game. paris felt magical and scrumptious; london, gritty. great recap.
It appears a person needs an entire summer to take in London and Paris with good day trips everywhere. Something to think about, land summer teaching jobs all over the place.
@dbjack Yeah, agreed… i’ve been to London twice for four days each, and I feel as if I have barely seen it. Same with Paris. I’d like to do with them what I did for Italy. Learn the language, then go for almost two weeks at a minimum and explore the small towns around the major cities (like I did in Tuscany). Oh, to find the time to do that… life’s is short, but vacations are shorter! (haha)
You guys did so much in a short period of time. Think you probably made a lot of people start planning for a trip to Europe. Love this recap.
You did what few others could: discover London and France in such a short period. I vote for going back soon.
Fantastic review. Welcome home.
Hello Cat!
Welcome home!
How about a top 100 instead of 10. 🙂
i saw London, I saw France. and from the looks of the weather i hope you wore long underpants. i’m glad you are a good photographer. i know you’ll go to Italy soon, and I hope Portugal, where, like Clark Griswold, you can drop in on cousins in the ‘old country’
While I may not have felt the same way you did about the Mona Lisa, I “do” know the feeling that you had. I felt the same way when I saw Michelangelo’s David in Florence. It became one of the few signature moments in my life! I’m happy you had one of those too Cat.
Travel back safe you two! ;^D
Top 10, that’s a tough call. Now that you’ve had a taste of Europe you’ve only touched the tip of the iceberg with regards to global traveling.
Looking forward to your next foreign travel blog Cat.
Photo 6 of 20 sums up the trip for me, and I wasn’t even there. The gloves in London? Good heavens. Saved Tiffany’s for the next trip to Paris?
I like the fact that the crepe guy was selling Heineken beers right on the street. Super!
An Aresnal game! That is AWESOME. It looks like you had a blast, congrats on a wonderful trip!
