Finally was able to put together another Europe trip.  Some friends were going and I planned my trip to work with their schedules and see some sights I hadn't seen before.  My trip started in Germany, then went to Spain, France, England, and back to Germany. I realized early in the planning I could see two Formula 1 races during that time; the European GP in Valencia and the British GP in Silverstone.  Why not?

But also on this trip I got to see a lot that I hadn’t seen on my previous visits. I finally made it into the Musee d’Orsay. Went to the Porsche museum in Stuttgart, Omaha beach in Normandy, and a lot of other sites. It was great to be in Barcelona again, and Paris, and for the first time I was able to tour a bit in England. Though all I saw was Silverstone. Slightly pathetic I know but I’m an F1 fan so I enjoyed it.
