Diet: Chocolate, Beer, and French Fries

Thursday, March 20th, 2008

Defiantly my favorite things about Belgium.  The chocolate honestly tastes better than any I have had and the beer is so much more flavorful, tasty, and high in alcohol.

I spent a day in Brussels but it was nothing special.  Maybe because the weather was crap and all I really saw was the boy that pees.  I never got the actual story behind the peeing boy.  [read on]

Nutella Crepes to the diet

Thursday, March 20th, 2008

Sorry friends, it’s going to take me a bit longer to upload pictures.  I have nearly 1700 to sort through so the computer has been acting very slow.

 So like I said, Paris was spectacular!  I guess I expected the Parisians to be rude like you have always heard about and the city to be way to high maintenance, but the people were actually friendly and the city has so much to offer.  Defiantly a place I would consider living for a short time. My first afternoon I hit up the famous Louvre.  Of course the museum  is overwhelmingly huge and if you are really into art you could spend an entire day there.  But I did some research beforehand and went to the sections with pieces I knew I wanted to see.  I focused on Da Vinci paintings, Aphrodite-Goddess of Love, Winged Victory of Samothrace-woman with wings poised on a prow of a ship once stood on a hilltop to commemorate a great naval victory, the famous Mona Lisa which is surprisingly a small painting that sits behind glass in a huge room, works by Michelangelo, and I even hit up the Egyptian section.  Needless to say, this is a must see while in Paris.  [read on]

After a 5 hour car ride back to the Dunkers home in Basel, I finished a few loads of laundry and got through 191 e-mails.  Within an hour of being home, Don asked if I wanted to go to a ... [Continue reading this entry]

No more cheese please

Saturday, February 9th, 2008
So far Salzburg has to be my favorite city. It´s not nearly as big as Vienna, which I like as I feel more in control of my surroundings. Everything is within walking distance and everything is beautiful to look at. I ... [Continue reading this entry]
