I Heart Rick Steves

The last thing we needed was another Germany guidebook. Or a discounted one from Costco (discounted because it’s the 2007 edition...the 2008 one will be out this fall). And how do I know this? Because I’m tracking Rick’s 100-day summer trip through Europe to update his guidebooks.

I wouldn’t say I’m obsessed, yet (I don’t, like, leave comments on his blog), but I have a strong appreciation for him. Both of us do -- we’ve bought his DVDs, read information online, purchased items from his website before our trip, and watched his PBS specials for years.

It’s just hilarious that we now own our 4th guidebook to Germany and I am so going to relish every page of it.

Why not check out his blog? You’ll love it!

Tschüss!
