French Countryside

When I imagined Europe I imagined lush, beautiful countryside. That's the Europe I wanted to experience. Believe me I got that when I went to England. But in the beginning of the trip, Alyson (my traveling partner) and I had spent several days in Paris and were on our way to Rome. I was absolutely unprepared for the awesome beauty that I witnessed from the train window. It was out of a fairy tale. I found several pictures on the internet, but it does it no justice. You have to see it to believe it.
