Finally! Pictures from my Europe trip!

Posted by Mr Wong at 11:04 AM 0

I know it's taken me way to long to start posting photos but we have about 7,000 photos to sort through. For those of you who are new to Decorology, this summer my boyfriend Chris and I spent from June 16th to August 25th backpacking around Europe. My boyfriend spent last year teaching English in Spain, and is actually flying back today to complete his second year. I will be staying in Maryland at my parents' farm until January, and will be living with Chris in Segovia, Spain from January through June. I will still be blogging daily from Spain and designing websites on a freelance basis.

Okay, back to the Europe trip. Below is a map I created with our path. Click on the map for a larger view.


The countries we visited include Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Belgium, and France. I will have separate posts for each country and then each city within them that we visited.

Below are just a random selection of images from the trip

Our first day -Chris and I on the coast in the beautiful city of Bayona.

The GORGEOUS Cíes Islands near the city of Vigo. An absolutely stunning bird sanctuary.

The beautiful island, Arousa, also in the Galicia region of Spain.

In the Asturias region of Spain, the mountain lakes of Enol and Ercina, in the Picos de Europa.

In the Basque region of Spain, the Guggenheim in Bilbao.

Florence, Italy

Vienna, Austria

Amsterdam, in the Netherlands (Holland region).


The two images above are from the end of our trip in Provence, France. This town is Roussillon.

I will post images from the trip once or twice a week, going in chronological order. What country are you most looking forward to seeing photos from?

A personal announcement: My plans this summer

As you may or may not know, this summer is going to be an exciting one for me. My boyfriend and I are backpacking around Europe for 9 weeks. We leave on June 17th, and I'll be returning to the states on August 25th. The countries we plan to visit include Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Holland, Belgium, and France. I'll go into more detail including what areas of each country we'll be seeing in future posts.

We'll begin our trip in Galicia, on the coast of Spain

Further on in the trip we will be visiting Cinque Terre, on the northwest coast of Italy



By the middle of July we will be staying in a remote area of the Swiss Alps!

I should also mention that, since I won't be bringing my computer, I'm not really sure what the posting schedule is going to look like. I'll do my best to check in and write something on atleast a weekly basis. I really will miss all of you and do hope that you'll visit me on Decorology from time to time this summer, and hopefully full time again in September when I have a normal schedule once more. And of course I'll be sharing tons of pictures from my travels - which you won't want to miss!
Stay tuned to hear more!

Thanks again for all the support!
