Budapest, Hungary; Bucharest, Romania; Vienna, Austria

I hardly took any pictures on this trip. Best city out of the lot was Budapest - less touristy than Vienna by far and much cleaner and more accessible than Bucharest. The highlight from Hungary was the paprika that I brought home as gifts for family.

Lisbon, Portugal; Athens, Greece

Lisbon, Portugal: September 18-20, 2006

Hotel was the "Arts VIP Executive" and was a newer yet quirky hotel. Didn't try the restaurant, although I wished I'd had after wandering for a long time in search of food and then eating terrible food in the "touristy" area of town. We did go to a great "Codfish" restaurant named "Casa Do Bacalhau" with a local sales rep who spoke great English. Very nice place.

I didn't take a single picture while I was in Lisbon.

Athens, Greece: September 20-24, 2006

The highlights of this trip were exploring the Acropolis and spending a day on the island Hydra.
