In June 2009, we came from Roseville, California; Pampa, Texas; Wimberley, Texas; and Omaha, Nebraska to explore the Essence of Europe with EF Tours. We started our tour in Heidelberg, Germany on June 9 and went on to Munich; Innsbruck, Austria; and Lido di Jesolo, Venice, Rome, and Florence, Italy. From there we went to Luzern, Switzerland; Colmar, France; Paris and London. We flew home on June 24, 2009.
