We asked our Facebook fans to submit photos of themselves using Rick's Audio Europe podcasts while on location in Europe. We chose four of our favorite photos for use in our ads (see the back of our book series). The response was fabulous. Below are the four photos we chose.
Brenda Mamer with her mother in Rome, John Kuijper in Florence, Angel Capobianco in London, and Alyssa Passey and friend in Paris.
