A busload of world- wide travelers
Today is the final day of our European adventure.  My hat's off to the staff of the Auburn Alumni Travel Group and Collette Tours....  a very enjoyable and informative trip.  A good overview of Europe at Christmas time....  Germany, France, Austria and Swittzerland...  4 countries in 8 days. ... All about the Alps,  the medieval villages, the Christmas market and just having the opportunity to meet people from all over the United States.  We met some fine folks from Vermont.  A question I posed was,  why would you leave Vermont in the middle of winter and travel to the Alps?  Marta, our Collette host, did a marvelous job and George , the bus driver, well what can I say, traveling through the Alps in winter.  Good job, George.  This will be my last blog entry.  We leave the hotel at 5:00 am for the airport in Zurich and head for Alabama.  I will post some more pictures from Lucerne.  I hope you have enjoyed this blog.
