<description>My blog is finally finished!!!Me and Lori backpacked across Europe this summer and had the time of our lives and this is our trip!

Also, Lori and I decided to rate our cities out of 10 because train rides are long and we get bored..so I thought I&apos;d share those as we had a lot of fun making them. Heres the criteria
/2 Hostel
/2 People
/2 Nightlife
/2 Sites
/2 Weather
/10 Total 
but each City can recieve bonus points for whatever we feel like giving it bonus points for.</description>
