Win a trip for two to experience Art and Architecture in Europe!One lucky winner (and companion) will receive a 4-day trip to Europe to explore what Art and Architecture in Europe has to offer. Included are a roundtrip to Europe for two, with a three night stay in a four star hotel. Enjoy the rich history, the museums, architecture, shops, restaurants and the European atmosphere.
1. What is the capital of Germany?
2. How many languages are spoken in Switzerland?3. In 2006, Holland will celebrate the birth year of Rembrandt. In what year was he born?
I have not been to Europe. I hope, God willing, that I would be able to spend 5 to 7 weeks visiting the Eurpoean countries that hold my interest. I am single and over 50 yrs of age. I would love to take a trip with a group of singles around my age. Unfortunately, I live paycheck to paycheck and have no savings, except for some IRA's invested in the stock market.
I would love to hear from people who have been in the countries I wish to visit and tell me about their experiences. I am interested in the people, the culture and some special places found off the beaten path.
Thank you.

Although I have been (30 years ago), I think my son would be a good contact for you. He has been over there about a year ago and would very much enjoy sharing his experiences. Since he went as a college student, he travelled low-budget.

I spent three weeks backpacking around Europe and am returning to live in England this fall. I enjoyed it greatly and read about adults your age going all the time. You should definitely try it.
Posted by: Elizabeth at June 7, 2005 12:41 AMMy husband is retired military and spent a number of years in Germany. (His first wife is from there) He is ALWAYS reliving his ADVENTURES while stationed there. I wish I could float down the Rhine river and attend Oktoberfest. I'm jealous. If I won the contest, I would like to go with my mom or a friend - someone other than my husband - so I could come home and relive MY adventures!
Posted by: Tammy at June 7, 2005 1:34 AMMy sister and brother-in-law live in Germany with their 3 children. They are active duty military and plan to be there one more year. I took my grandmother with me one year ago to visit them for 2 weeks. It was the most amazing vacation I have ever had. We took a tour down the Rhine River, visited castles along the way, did some wine tasting, shopping, and much, much more! I would love to be able to visit other parts of Europe.
