Europe Travel Journal

This category holds all of the posts on my visits to Europe. Country subcategories within the Europe category contain posts from each country I visited in Europe. And municipal subcategories within each European country category contain posts on each city and town I visited within those countries.

I take some liberty on my definitions of cities and towns. For example, if I take a day trip outside of a municipality I usually include the post on that in the subcategory for the city or town where I started and ended the day.

All of my friends and family are in North America. But I don’t write about visits to them. But I do visit Europe a lot, and I write about those trips. So, this category will likely always have more entries than the other continent categories in this journal.
