Europa 2012 - Köln et Bruxelles

Après trois semaines de vacances en Europe, voici une première mise à jour avec commentaires et photos.

Louis and I landed in Frankfurt am Main early on the morning of Wednesday, April 24. From there, we made our way directly to Köln for our first night on German soil. There we met Ina and Philippe and set about drinking plenty of Kölsch.

The next morning, we set about to explore the city a bit.

Après notre tour de ville, Philippe Louis et moi sommes partis pour Bruxelles ou nous avons été accueillis par Victoria. Nous avons profité de nos deux jours à Bruxelles pour visiter la ville, marcher et profiter des délicatesses belges… Gaufres, bière, frites, chocolats, etc. Marta s'est jointe à nous pour la dernière soirée, qui fut bien arrosée dans les bistros et bars à vin de la capitale belge.

Canada 2011-2012

I know I'm extremely behind with this post, mais mieux vaut tard que jamais!

Winter in Canada normally tends to be a fairly cold affair. However thanks to climate change, or god depending on your own rational grounding, last winter was particularly mild. Here are some pictures of that winter.

In other news, this blog will be updated more frequently as I get ready for my next trip to Europe. I will be in Germany, Belgium and Italy from April 25th to May 12th.

Boston!

So here are some pictures from my trip to Boston with Jason, J-F and Louis. Five nice days filled with some nice discoveries (Clark's!), new sights, activities and the usual trip tension - all the ingredients for a great vacation!

And of course, no trip to Boston would be complete without a stop in Vermont on the way back to discovery the beautiful smallest state capital in the U.S. - Montpelier!

Schnee in unseren Winter-Wunderland!

So I am back in Canada! With my return, the nature of my blog will change a bit and I will be using it to keep the other side of the Atlantic abreast of my oh-so-exciting adventures!

I will upload some last pictures of Trento shortly, but in the meantime, enjoy these pictures. I went skiing my first weekend back on Mont Sutton and we have been hit by quite the snow storm over the last few days...
