Marseille

By Leave a Comment

There is something about Marseille….. Maybe it is because on my 1st visit to Marseille the train stopped about  an hour outside the city and an announcement came over the PA in French ( I know zero )  and everyone started to grab their bags and get off the train.  I didn’t know what to do […]

Just returned from a 3 days trip skiing up in VT.  Second day there and it did not stop snowing, 12″ of fresh pow on the third morning made for an epic day.  Rare to catch powder days in the east….. STOKED!

I was in Amsterdam when I came upon a showing of photos and art from Eastern Europe during the cold war.  This gallery was actually set up in a church.  These are just a few pictures of some of the amazing work on display.

Bruges

By Leave a Comment

Bruges is sometimes called the Venice of the north.  One walk around the city centrum and you will know exactly why.  I hesitate to even write anything about Bruges just because I find it my own personal nirvana.  Many people have yet to experience Bruges or perhaps even have heard of this wonderland.   It was the […]

Prague……..

By Leave a Comment

Prague is everything it is said to be.  If you are a 1st time visitor I suggest highly that you stay in “Old Prague”  otherwise you maybe staying in an area that looks to familiar.  Prague is filled with everything a European visit should be.  Beautiful buildings, cobble stone streets, open air markets, beer lovers […]
