After my daughter graduated from college in 2013, she went to Hastings, a city near London, England, for a language study program.
As her three-month language course was coming to an end, I planned a trip to meet her at Heathrow Airport in England. Together, we went on a package tour for 12 days. We visited six Western European countries. England, France, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, and Germany. We took the trip together because I thought that my daughter wouldn’t have time to travel with her mom once she landed a job and got married.
In Rome, we visited the famous locations featured in the movie “Roman Holiday” and tossed coins into the Trevi Fountain. In Venice, we took a ride on a gondola and explored the city on water. We took lots of photos together and created wonderful memories.

2013년, 딸이 대학 졸업한 후 어학연수를 위해 영국 런던 인근 도시인 헤이스팅스로 떠났다.
3개월간의 어학연수가 끝나갈 무렵, 나는 영국 히드로 공항에서 딸을 만났다. 그리고 우리는 우리는 함께 12일 동안 패키지여행을 했다. 우리는 영국, 프랑스, 스위스, 이탈리아, 오스트리아, 독일 등 서유럽 6개국을 방문했다. 딸이 취업하고 결혼하면 엄마와 같이 여행할 시간이 없을 것 같아서 함께 여행을 했다.
로마에서는 영화 '로마의 휴일'에 나오는 유명한 장소를 방문하고 트레비 분수에 동전을 던져보기도 했다. 베니스에서는 곤돌라를 타고 물 위에서 도시를 구경했다. 우리는 함께 많은 사진을 찍으며 멋진 추억을 만들었다.
