This is Ian. Well, it was inevitable that this night would come... its the final night of 222 nights in Europe.
Tonight we watched the Eiffel Tower twinkle its final show and as I look back on the journey, some other vivid memories come to mind. I couldn't capture all of them in this post but here are a few of my sentimental highlights in no special order:
-Stepping into the main hall of the Academia in Florence and seeing Michelangelo's 17 foot pure white marble David waiting at the end of the hall.
-Standing on the deck of the ship at night while it sailed through the straight of Gibraltar with the lights of Africa to my left and Europe to my right.
-Sitting on a beach on the coast of Portugal, peering out over the Atlantic in the direction of Miami where countless times I've sat on the beach and looked out toward Europe.
And my favorite of all....
Being out in the world for close to 8 months on a journey to nowhere, without a reason or a care and with Valentina smiling right beside me the whole way.
I'll cherish it always.

You guys are making me tear up! I've enjoyed sharing your journey vicariously through this blog. Thanks for taking the time.
Valentina - I would love to read that pages it would take to read about what this experience has taught you and how it has transformed your way of thinking. Go for it!
We can't wait to see you!!
