Since our days in Europe are quickly coming to an end, we have compiled a list of our favorite things. Here's Austin's "Best of" list:

The Pena Castle in Sintra, Portugal was a close second for Best Historical Sites along with playing basketball in the castle court in Dubrovnik, Croatia (below).
Eating at The Good Burger in Granada, one of the best burgers on our trip. Good ol' American-style burgers are hard to find here.
He needs to find a court here. We’ve been so distracted with Christmas stuff we forgot to look for one! He says In n Out is way better!
Loved reading about your favorites too, Austin! Man, that burger looks delicious! How close did it come to an In-N-Out burger? I probably would have never ever wanted to leave that gorgeous waterfall and swimming hole! I heard you have been toting around a basketball for most of the trip! That's true love! Hope you find a court in your next destination to hone your ball skills! Love & miss you xo
