The big trek across Europe

My parents and I with Juan. Juan es famoso.
I have broken my trip up into separate posts. It's really quite a lot of information, thoughts, and memories. It was great to see my parents. I started the trip by seeing Zurich, Switzerland for the day, and then met up with my parents in Prague. Zurich is nice, but I think it would be better if accompanied with skiing in the Alps. But it made for a nice day of shopping, coffee, and photography.
After the big trek, my parents came to Madrid. Unfortunately we didn't have a lot of time. But, they did have some good food, met Shannon, saw flamenco, and had a caña in my favorite bar, "Juan's." This bar is like Cheers. It's downstairs in the building where my office is, so more often than not, I go down after work. Juan, the best camarero ever, says, "Hola Beth...que te pongo? Clara? Draft light?" Then he brings amazing tapas that we never pay for. I honestly think it was my parents' favorite part of Madrid. I can't blame them.
After, they went to London and Paris. How cute is this? In Paris, my dad re-proposed to mom at a restaurant and presented her with a huge new diamond ring. My mom cried of course, but who wouldn't?
They're back in the states now, and they went to pick up the dog from Athens today. She was staying with my brother for the last three weeks. My mom told me yesterday that today will me nothing but kisses on her nose. It was an amazing trip, and I have more photos on my Flickr page of course.
