This weekend I posed a question to our Facebook friends & followers and I got some great responses from these educated teacher & student travelers that I wanted to share with you. I asked:

"What has been your biggest 'wow' moment when traveling abroad?" And they answered with...

  • Visiting the Plaza Mayor in Salamanca, Spain

  • Laying eyes on Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany

  • Our wonderful tour guide Robert placed our group in the perfect place and time to see the Eiffel Tower sparkle!

  • Walking up to Trocadero and seeing the Eiffel Tower for the first time!

  • The beaches of Normandy in France with my mother and my daughter were a powerful experience!

  • Walking up over a peak and seeing Machu Picchu in Peru

  • Seeing the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican

  • Walking the labyrinth in Chartres Cathedral in France. We were lucky enough to visit when it was uncovered. What an experience.

What has been your own personal "wow" moment on your travels?
