Day 19-20: On the next part of our EuroTrip, we followed the Romantic Road, a country route through lots of little medieval towns. I’m sure it’s got it’s charm, but after some of the other routes we rode on, I just couldn’t get over the touristy push of this one. The Romantic Road signs were even labeled in Japanese. My biggest excitement of this route was finally capturing a photo of Thomas and me in a street mirror.
Say Cheese!
The next day, on our way to a nature reserve, we saw some storks feeding in a field and decided to break early. Across the street was a grouping of 3 lakes, so we took a walk around them. Those who know Thomas will know what he’s doing in this photo — catching frogs. There were a ton!

Got one!
The other break we had was fun because the town name is our last name. We drove around until we found a sign that we could pose by.

Our last name is Swedish (Thomas was born there) and is spelled has two dots over the O. This town didn’t have the dots, so I made sure to correct the sign with real rock dots.
Dallas shows how it's correctly spelled. :)
Thomas has been catching up on his blog with some great entries from the EuroTrip. He’s picked some different photos and focuses on different aspects of our trip than I do. If you haven’t already, be sure to check them out at: http://sprocket.io
