Tarifa, Spain – Part 1

A quick note: It seems like ages since I’ve written here. Back when I was actively traveling, I couldn’t keep up with writing about all the places I’d seen so I decided to wait until I was back ‘home’ to catch up on everything. Well, since I’ve been back it seems I’ve turned into a lazy slob…. when it comes to writing, anyway. While I … Continue reading Tarifa, Spain – Part 1

Tangier, Morocco

After my somewhat-less-than-wonderful time in Marrakech, I looked forward to moving on to Tangier. My overnight train ride between the two cities was fun and comfortable enough (at least, for a tall person like me!). I arrived at the Tangier train station very early in the morning and knew my hostel wouldn’t be open yet, so I sat at a cafe within the station and … Continue reading Tangier, Morocco

Germany & Marrakech

Germany and Marrakech? An odd pairing, no? I didn’t plan to travel around Germany much…. maybe next time. My reason for going there at all was to visit my friend, Michelle. She and I met while working at a horrible office job in California. We both hated our jobs, loved knitting and traveling and felt we’d found a kindred spirit. For whatever reason people connect, … Continue reading Germany & Marrakech

Bruges, Part 3

In my last post I said there were two main reasons I was interested in visiting Bruges. One had to do with having seen the movie In Bruges and being captivated by the city’s architecture. The other had to do with lace and that’s what this, my third and final post on Bruges, is about. Well, at least for starters. The lace center – the … Continue reading Bruges, Part 3

Bruges, Part 2

So, why Bruges? The first of two main reasons is that Bruges is a world-renowned center of lace-making. I mean real lace. Not machine-made, not crochet, not tatting. Lace. I wanted to see it being made because it’s a rare and specialized skill that takes years and years of practice to perfect. However…… That’s not what this blog post is about. The other reason I … Continue reading Bruges, Part 2

Bruges, Belgium

As I wrote in my recent post on London, I took a train from St. Pancras Station to Bruges, Belgium. I’ve decided to write at least two, if not three, posts on Bruges because I took a lot of pictures. I just couldn’t stop myself. In this post I hope to give you at least a small taste of the visual treasures there are in … Continue reading Bruges, Belgium

Bournemouth, Part 2

While going through photos for this post, I came across one that rightly should have gone in my last post about Bournemouth. This panoramic shot obviously distorts the shape of the coastline, but in it you can see the Isle of Wight way out there to the left and the Purbecks over to the right. It’s easy to see how these two outposts of the … Continue reading Bournemouth, Part 2

Bournemouth, Part 1

Between spending time in London after my venture in Leicester and then returning to London to catch the train to Belgium, I stayed about 10 days in Bournemouth. My friend Sarah, who I’d met years ago on my first visit to England, arranged for me to stay with her friend Helen, who had a spare room. Did I get a picture of Helen? Of course … Continue reading Bournemouth, Part 1

London

From Leicester, I took a train to London (do keep in mind that my blog posts are not in alignment with my travels – I’ve gotten all out of order!). I arrived at Waterloo Station. Good ‘ol Waterloo Station! I’d been there 9 years previously when I first visited England with friends and it was good to see it again. After taking the Underground to … Continue reading London
