the moon never sleeps
The moon always seems to be up at odd hours in France... here it is, spotted at 8:30 in the morning today.
christmas in austria
I had the pleasure to spend a week celebrating the holidays in Austria with old friends and new. Spent Christmas day at a natural hot spring in the mountains... good way to balance out all of the Austrian cuisine!
fairytale land
Bruges, Belgium, is like stepping into a fairytale land; complete with candy cane lamp posts and singing elves and iced gingerbread pavement. Okay, not really, but it certainly looks like one!

secret caves
Did you know that during World War I, over 25,000 British soldiers hid underground in a labyrinth of secret caves under the city of Arras, France?
About 60 feet underground, 25,000 Allied soldiers hid for eight days before the Battle of Arras in 1917. Originally the caves were medieval chalk quarries. There are about 12 miles of tunnels, and with these tunnels, soldiers were able to advance on the Germans.
And back above ground again...
