First Week in Europe
So much has changed for us over the past two weeks! We knew the change was coming, and to be honest, it was just what we needed. This week of riding in cycle lanes, blending in with the locals and speaking a lot of English has been refreshing! Our journey itself was a bit rough…...

We’ve even...
