Oh the places you will go!
...With your parents. My parents have been planning this trip for a year now, it was their first trip to Europe and I think they made their mark. Literally, my dad has marked his European territory by stretching on a bench in 5 museums, 1 palace, 1 monastary, and multiple parks. We got a police escort when we got lost and a taxi escort for less than 30 seconds. One pharse of their vacation became “venimos, comimos, vichimos”: we came, we ate, we conquered. It's true, every meal was a different experience. For me, I found it difficult trying to translate the menu and everything the waiter was saying to me. They found it difficult not being able to communicate their several questions to the waiter. But all in all, we ended up with food on our plates and wine in our glasses. It was great to see them enjoy themselves for almost three weeks because I have seen them working hard and consistently all of their lives. For me, albeit it was difficult at times, it was a treat.
