Monday ramblings
If you’ve read this blog for a while, you know about my ongoing love of bikes in Europe, specifically in The Netherlands. I saw this sad little bicycle in London along the Thames a couple of weekends ago. Poor thing. I have photos of happier bikes here and here. We went to a nearby garden [...]
A Leisurely Day in Bruges, Belgium
Pretty Bruges is less than an hour from Brussels on the train. The only other European city I’ve seen so far that can hold a candle to this beautiful town is Annecy, France. Mr. DJ says Bruges is pretty darned cute. That’s an understatement, of course. Coincidentally, Rick Steves blogged about this town in a [...]
We love summer
A very chic mom and her boy in Munich, Germany. Look at how pulled together that woman is! She’s wearing HEELS… on a bike! If I tried this, I’d have lost one shoe or sprained an ankle trying to dismount. Plus my hair would be a mess. This is not a staged photo–this is the [...]

Haarlem, The Netherlands
Just as Rick Steves promised, Haarlem is darling and well-preserved–a living museum, really. I mean, you can just imagine people walking around in their traditional Dutch attire. By the way, I don’t know if you can tell, but these are over sized wooden shoes. If you take a look at the brick pavers, you’ll get [...]

Still in Love with the Bicycles in Holland
Here’s one in Amsterdam with a buggy in front. And one in action. The woman in the orange jacket has a youngster in her buggy. She might have had two. I can’t remember now. Anyway, this is in Delft. . And when it rains? Why, a nice little rain bonnet, of course. This is in [...]
You’re not hardcore (unless you live hardcore)
So, you remember I wanted to eat at this Haring Stand when I was in Den Haag last time? Roxi and I managed to make it there this time on our last day (more on that later). This stand is near the Binnehof, which we managed to miss again, darn it! Yes, I tried it. [...]
I want to ride my bicycle (I want to ride it where I like)
Isn’t this something? The bike’s not chained up to anything! I love that wicker basket. This was in the shopping area in the town center of The Hague. That’s the kind of bike I want. Nothing too fancy, but definitely with a wicker basket. . Ever since we moved to England, I’ve had this absurd [...]
Cruise on Lake Annecy in August
This is one of my favorite moments from the whole trip. These guys were on break. Judging from their aprons, I guessed they worked in a nearby cafe. What did they do during their 15 minutes? The drank a glass of wine or a coffee (cup and saucer) and said hello to the swans. That’s [...]
