When in Belgium…
Always enjoy a lovely beer with your meal. (Isn’t that blue bottle pretty? It’s sparkling water.) And if your travelling companion asks if it is time for chocolate, always say “yes”. ~ We were in Gent yesterday… more later!
Paris, France
Well, after looking over my photos from our two-and-a-half day trip to Paris last August, I realized that to overindulge in so much goodness in one sitting would be such a waste. So let us savor Paris the way it should be, leisurely, on European time. Think of this post as an amuse-bouche. This was [...]
The Hague, The Netherlands (from our trip in July)
This is a continuation of the trip we took in July to Brussels/Bruges/The Hague/Paris. I am trying to catch up on my travel posts since we going on holiday next week. So today, it’s The Hague and tomorrow Paris (finally, Lucylucia, right?) The Hague (Den Haag), The Netherlands Counting back, this is the third time we [...]
When in Bruges…
… one MUST indulge in the local cuisine. Bruges is known for its handmade chocolates, by the way. Mmmmm. Good thing we walked a lot that day. And if you didn’t already know, Belgian beer is really good. The only thing is there are so many varieties! Too many choices, too little time. Chocolate Shops [...]

Mr. DJ says Bruges is pretty darned cute. That’s an understatement, of course. Coincidentally, Rick Steves blogged about this town in a [...]
Brussels: The view from our room
The view from our hotel room in Brussels. Click to enlarge. Roxi and I are going uniform shopping today. All her skirts and trousers from last year are about an inch and a half too short! As we were driving home from her friend’s house yesterday I FINALLY found a fabric store in another town [...]
Strolling through Brussels, Belgium
Our first stop on our trip last week was in Bruxelles or Brussels, Belgium. One of Mr. DJ’s colleagues said that “Brussels reveals her charms slowly.” Hmmm. I don’t know. I thought the old girl was pretty charming from the get go. Although my opinion might have been swayed by where we stayed…. The Conrad. [...]
Today Roxi and I…
…went to a Japanese grocery store with my dear friend S and her daughter Y (Roxi’s friend). What a bunch of yummy stuff I bought! Four bags of goodies, to be exact. After, we went back to S’s house had a delicious cold noodle lunch and finished with a green tea cake I made this [...]
On the clicking wheels of trains
I am sure I have said it before, but it is worth repeating. I love the trains here! I love the commuter line that takes me into London, and, of course, there’s the tube once I get into the city. And then there’s that one train that teased me and tempted me every time I [...]
