A preview of what’s to come: just last night, Joe showing me Postdam plaza in Berlin.

A really cool square in Geneva. Random tiles light up and they each have different phrases written on them in different languages.

Me in front of the L’ouvre.

Back in time again. The inside of St. Peter’s Basilica sparkling white and gold.

Going back a bit. AP showing us Barcelona from on high in the Gaudi park.

Amsterdam at night. The canals are beautiful.

Belgian beer is excellent. This bar we were at in Brussels - the Delirium Tremens, named for the beer - holds the World Record for the highest number of comercially available beers: 2004.

My first castle (in Antwerp). So excited!

Antwerpen in Dutch literally means “hand throwing.” There’s a legend that some giant cut off people’s hands who couldn’t pay the toll to cross the river, but then a Roman defeated him and in an act of irony cut off the giant’s hand and threw it away. This statue shows the victor doing just that. There are hands cut off at the wrist in many forms throughout the city - including statues and chocolate!

In Brussels. From one of the palaces, with my back to the bulk of the city.
