[2014] Papa Francis - The Vatican, Italy

The church never turns you away. Although the St. Peter's Basilica states that you need a ticket to attend mass as a visitor. You can also just show up and go to Mass. Local church members don't need these tickets and guards also don't check them. We are so happy we showed up for Maundy Tuesday to ask the Swiss guards.

[2015] Berwick Upon Tweed, Englad - Love an excuse for a fascinator!

Our friends Liam and Mari from Basel got married during Easter break in England - but we flew into Edinburgh as it's the closest airport. It was a crazy trip over as our flight was delayed and our connection in London was soooo short - but we made it by a hair - thank goodness we didn't have any checked luggage. 

The wedding was at a wonderful location where most people from out of town stayed in the wedding night. I don't remember many details, but I do recall some great speeches, lots of drinks, wonderful live band, and sitting in the kitchen/dining room in the wee hours of the morning.
