Bruges

Bruges was even cuter and more friendly than antwerp with lots of lace-makers and more good chocolate and beer.  I climbed up in a 400 year old windmill, saw the only Michealangelo sculpture to ever leave Italy during his lifetime, ate a red wine vinegar chocolate, had the BEST PICKLE OF MY LIFE, saw a nest full of swan eggs, and learned how to properly filet a piece of Sole.  The average age in the city seemed to be around 65, but it was a fun place to visit.

Antwerp

It's kinda hard not to like Belgium.  The people are so nice, the beer, chocolate and food is good everywhere, they love waffles (so do I!).  It was meant to be.  Antwerp was beautiful, all old buildings and cobblesone streets.  It was kind of hot when we were there so it reminded be a bit of Savanah, Georgia minus the piggly wiggly's.  We had some amazing meals, went to really cool printing museum and saw some Gutenbergs, saw a great show at the fashion museum about paper clothing, found a cool cactus garden, and a Design shop called Walter, and just walked around a lot, exploring the little corners of the city.

Amsterdam II

I've tried to make a rule of only going to places that I've never been before, but Amsterdam has been an exception. Twice.  It's just too good!

going away!

In about a half an hour I'm meeting my parents in Amsterdam then heading off on a week long tour of the flemmish country.  Antwerp, Bruges, Brussels, then back to Copenhagen next week.  Dui!

viking woodshop

The vikings use the same benches as we do at RISD in the ID department wood shop.  haha.  Either our benches are old or the vikings were just very sophisticated.  This was at the viking museum in Roskilde.

Louisiana III

Another cool trip to the Louisisna Museum in Humlebaek.  It's my third time, but it was just as inspiring and interesting as ever.  I especially liked the water-bottle housing.  And we got to see Princess Marie of Denmark, who was also visiting the museum with like 50 photographers and body gaurds at all times.  I'm glad I'm not royal, I enjoy my solitude in art museums.
