After a whirlwind trip up and down the interior of Europe, far too many hours in the car, dozens if not hundreds of sights seen, a few stunning meals and a number best not recalled, it truly is good to be home.
A truly crushing computer disaster, however, has wiped my hard drive clean, and is now wreaking havoc with my work flow. Though posts may be slow at first, hopefully all will be back up and running in no time. Just another example of why everyone should always back up their files religiously. Because I made a point of doing so right before embarking on the trip, all of my photos and the manuscript for my upcoming cookbook were mercifully saved.
More photos will be added as I edit them to my Flick set, for all who are curious.

Yikes!! I’m so sorry you had to endure this :(
August 27, 2010 at 9:06 pm
Omigosh, Hannah, that’s awful. Thank goodness you had the presence of mind to back everything up. Still, it’s disheartening to have the computer crash.
Glad you are home safely. These photos are just wonderful, by the way. If I HAD to pick a favorite (under the threat of death, perhaps) it would be the fourth one. Your perspective is spot on!

Awesome trip! The pic with the doggie is my favorite :) Good tip to back things up- also back up your blogs, ’cause you never know.
August 27, 2010 at 10:14 pm
hey, it’s little Strummer!!!!!
beautiful pictures, and thank goodness for the backed up files!! :)
August 27, 2010 at 10:31 pm
Oh, well done you for backing up! Gosh, I can’t even begin to think how horrific that could have been. You clever lady you!
P.S. Cannot WAIT for Europe photos. Double squee of joy!

Looks like a fun trip! What a bummer to have to deal with the hard drive. Good thing you back up those files. I’m so paranoid, I backup the backups, just in case. Looking forward to seeing and reading more about your trip. :-)

I’m terrible about backing up…
Your photos are wonderful, thank you for sharing, I’m so jealous. In dire need of a Euro-trip.

Strummer and Melisser’s arm! You must’ve been in Vienna. So sorry to hear about the computer troubles!
August 28, 2010 at 1:59 am
OMG, that would actually kill me, i must get onto backing up all my files right now. Welcome home by the way. xx

Lovely pictures Hannah;like especially the one with that cute chihuahua.
So sorry about your computer disaster,but luckily your pics
were saved:-)

Prague? (I’m guessing… but the first pictures don’t look like Vienna, but almost like it, and Prague would make sense distance-wise)
Vienna (the Riesenrad picture, maybe the baking one?)
Amsterdam (canal picture), and if not that, maybe Utrecht (but I doubt it)
Tried to look for clues, some sort of give-away, in the pictures but I can’t detect anything! Even the car plates aren’t legible — but they aren’t Austrian ones for sure because numbers would precede letters in that case…

Oh! my! I went on a 7=6 week vacation to Europe too. And it does see like a whirlwind then I comeback too! It was almost panic to get everything organized again…. and I lost a few things here and there!
I couldn’t imagine a computer crash right after a big trip!
I hope it all turns around!
I love your pictures!!! Brings back everything…but moving in my dorm, today… Oh If it was always summer…

August 28, 2010 at 12:55 pm
I’m so sorry to hear about your computer troubles, Hannah! Glad you backed your stuff up beforehand. Wouldn’t want to lose any of your photos, recipes, and the like. Speaking of pictures, these are lovely. I especially love the first and 4th.
August 28, 2010 at 1:11 pm
Welome home!!!!!!
August 28, 2010 at 1:50 pm
Ooh, I’ve been there before. Hard drive crashes are awful. Unfortunately, I didn’t have a back up.
