Photos of Europe

Honfleur Harbour in Honfleur, France
This quaint little town north of Paris is a great little place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the Paris city lights.  Just a short drive away, filled with wonderful shops, restaurants and history.  An absolute must if you are in the area.  You won't regret it, I promise.

I don't know why, but when I think of Belgium I think of BEER!  Not just any beer, but damn good beer :-)  I'm not sure if this place had 250 beers but it had a great selection.  Brussels was a very interesting trip indeed.  I think it is one of the places out of all of the places that I have visited in Europe that is hardest to figure out.  A strange and intriguing place indeed.  Maybe the answer lies in the BEER!

In Paris how can you possibly not think about food?  If I was on a diet Paris is the last place I would want to be.  There is something tempting around every corner.  Tarts, bread, creme brulee and more.  I couldn't help but take this picture of this gorgeous bread at a stand on the street.

This is a visit the the Marche de Passy located in the 16th arrondissment in Paris.  I was lucky that the hosts of the room I was renting extended their hospitality by taking me on a tour of the market by letting me tag along on their weekend shopping.  I had a fabulous time.  This link Marche de Passy  gives you a little more info and some more pictures of the market.  I absolutely loved it.

Belgian waffles or as I discovered in Brussels that they are also called Brussels waffles. There's a reason why these are so famous!  They are delicious!

The Belgian waffles, or Brussels waffle, is prepared with a yeast-leavened batter. It is generally, but not always, lighter, thicker, and crispier and has larger pockets compared to other waffle varieties. In Belgium, it is served warm by street vendors, dusted with confectioner's sugar, and sometimes topped with whipped cream or chocolate spread. In America, it is served in the same ways the American waffle is served. Belgian waffles were introduced to America by restaurateur Maurice Vermersch, who sold his Brussels waffles under the name "Bel-Gem Waffles" at New York's 1964 World's Fair.

Hi and welcome to my "Photos of Europe" blog.  Over the years I have a collection of photos from my travels to Europe that I felt were going to waste if they weren't shared.  When I got in to blogging I thought some day I really have to put together a travel blog showing off my photos.  Time went on and I procrastinated until one day some people on Twitter nudged me a little to get it going.  So I came back to this blogspot page that I made a while back and bam here it is I've finally started it.  I will over time put photos up of all of my travels.
