There are a total of 50 countries in Europe, unless you count Bosnia and Herzegovina as two, then there are 51. But Bosnia and Herzegovina is actually just one country – Nice compromise everyone! Either way it doesn’t matter because neither Michèle nor I have been there. Combined, we hit 20 countries in Europe, but our city count might be close to 200 because it is the one region that we return to over and over again. Michèle has family and friends EVERYWHERE. I’m not sure if we can count Wales because we got lost driving around Western England and we were never sure where we were. All the signs and radio stations were in some funny sounding made up language, so we think we were in Wales, but we’ll never know for sure.

Extensive as that list might seem, that still leaves a whopping 30 countries that we have not been to in Europe. Truth be told, Michèle and I would be happy just to return to France or Italy every year for the rest of our lives. Everytime we are in France or Italy, we plan on going left, end up going right, and have an even better, unexpected, experience. Like, Lyon, France for example. It’s always on our list, but we somehow never quite make it there. Though it’s a funnier story that we never quite get there.
