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 [...]
Notting Hill, London
I met Bee in London’s Notting Hill neighborhood yesterday. What fun for me especially, since I haven’t been to this part of town since I was a teenager. I took to the tube to the closest tube stop, Ladbroke Grove. I loved this little bit of tromp l’oeil in the upper left corner of this [...]
A little homesick
The birds like to rest on telephone wires back home in Texas. January 2008. I’ve got a little of the homesick blues today. I’m sure I’ll get over it soon enough, but last night I realized that this is the longest I’ve been away from home–almost nine months. Anyway, this should help: some friends and [...]
¡Congratulacion España! and other things
Spain won the Euro 2008 Championship. Here are some loyal fans in Nuremberg, Germany. There were some really hardcore ones in Salzburg! Oh, I know, I’ve been so slow in posting my Germany photos. Now that Roxi is out for the summer it is hard to find three or four hours to sit down and [...]
A day of Japanese things
Yesterday my friend S treated us to a delicious bento lunch at Mitsukoshi Restaurant near Piccadilly Circus in London. My bento included salmon and tuna sashimi, vegetable and shrimp tempura, miso soup, vegetables, rice, and fruit. Roxi had the tonkatsu bento. We enjoyed this food so much. S says the food is authentic at this [...]
And the rain rain rain fell down down down
Garden surprises. And I didn’t even have to go to Holland for these. It rained ALL weekend. Not the charming sort of misty rain we normally get here. I’m talking torrential rain with hail. Okay, it only did that for five minutes at a time, but it kept it up all weekend long. So, yeah, [...]
Prague: Church of St. Nicholas and a Beer Hall
Right, so I’m almost done with our October trip to Prague. Just one more post after this… The Church of St. Nicholas is located in Prague’s Little Quarter not far from our hotel. That’s it on the right. The green dome is the same one we saw in the second photo from my St. Vitus [...]
Dinner in Paris
Alors, I got an email from Mr. DJ this morning: “Enough with the rich food, wine, and late nights! I can’t take much more of this glamorous life.” He is kidding, of course, because the next message was: “But that shoulder of lamb was so good. Maybe I could tolerate another meal…..” I spy… an [...]
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 [...]
Scheveningen on the North Sea
Scheveningen is a resort area about 15 minutes by tram from Den Haag Centraal. There are a number of restaurants and a small shopping area in addition to the beach. The beach itself is quite large and is home to the Scheveningen Sand Sculpture Competition. All of the museums are closed on Mondays in The [...]
