What a Year It's Been...

We've lived in Europe for just over a year now and it has truly been an incredible experience. We have learned a lot, been challenged a lot, and have been able to see a lot of fascinating places. Here are a few of our favorite pictures. Can you identify all of the places? Impress us with your knowledge!

Maria and Nate said...

Hi Colleen! So good to hear from you. :) That is a good idea to give everyone the answers. But first, I want someone to give it a shot. I know it's a lot to type out, but I want to see what you think! Colleen, Teran, Joy... get started! The winner will receive... a coffee date w/me when I'm home at Christmas :)

Maria and Nate said...

p.s. a FREE coffee date at the place of you choosing. I'm not that special to simply give away a "date" with myself... haha

Unknown said...

Haha, you make me laugh :) Here goes: London, Paris, Rome, Egypt, Cinque Terre, Scotland, Salzburg, Petra, Venice, Prague, Pisa, Monaco, Swiss Alps, Stonehenge, Swiss Alps, Edinburgh, Florence, Neuschwanstein, Ireland, Istanbul, Amsterdam. Would love to see you over Christmas even if I don't win the coffee date :)
love, colleen

Well, I didn't exactly think it through if there was a tie! I was waiting for my sister to respond too, but I think I will be having plenty of coffee with her anyway. So, the only solution is to have coffee with both of you (teran & colleen) which I want to do anyway, so it works out well for me. :) Looking forward to it! And Teran, Amsterdam was so great... I'll post about it one of these days (or years) when Nate and I catch up!

Teran and JJ said...

Yay! I'm glad you liked Amsterdam, it is still one of my favorite City's in Europe! Glad for the coffee date too!!
