There are only days left in 2016. As I look forward to my adventures in 2017,  I am also savoring some of my favorite memories from this past year. That's the best part about travel. Though your trip ends, you get to keep the memories forever. For 2016, my favorite travel memory came about from a last minute decision to take a slight detour with our rental car and travel off the beaten path. 

Imagine a tiny walled medieval town set on a quaint river where wine flows like water, and there are no cars in sight.
