Allen and Cheng in front of the Coliseum in Rome, Italy.

Paris is famous for doggie poop on the streets. Didn't take long before Allen stepped in some.

The fjords of Norway. The fog added a mystical tone to the cruise.

Allen writing in travel journal on the cruise through the fjords of Norway.

Trying to relax on the French Rivieras, but not too successful? Private beach with chairs and towels provided. Went to nearby Monaco also. 

Roman aquaducts in Segovia, Spain. I got by with English in Madrid and Barcelona. In Segovia, however, I had a difficult time. The Aquaducts were hard to find from the train station. I was darn near lost a few times. I later find out a high school friend was on her college's overseas program in Segovia at that very same time. Sure could've used her help. Small world.

Cheng and Allen went to Amsterdam on Queens day (craziness all over.) We then traveled to the windmill country. Also saw a tulip farm and visited Holland's famous dike and flood protection system.
