The Sounds of Drums…

Sunday: 18th October 2009 Mid-October is here and it is just now getting a little cool for Florida, if you consider sixty or seventy degrees to be such; an enormous difference from the ninety degree weather only two days prior I must say. I am actually lying on the beach waiting for the evening to [...]
Bruges, Belgium
Posted: May 16, 2009 in Personal Thoughts, Travel Blog, UncategorizedTags: Belgium, Bruges
Thursday: 14 May 2009 Beautiful rivers, bridges and windmills outline the townships edge with old city gates and walls giving this town a charming feel. City streets lead to the center with churches towering above and multicolored buildings tall and thin. Side by side houses, restaurants, cafes, chocolatiers and pubs that serves Belgian beer. Fields [...]
Thursday: 14 May 2009 I just took off for Bratislava, Slovakia on a last minute change in travel plans that took place a couple days ago. I was discussing my route with Alex and he suggested heading to Eastern Europe since it is a plausible way to travel through Europe for cheap. So I picked [...]
Tuesday: 12 May 2009 The train station in Bruxelles Nord is a sight to see! The hustle of people departing the arriving trains, filling the platforms that connect many different cities to this single destination or some may continue on to various other locations. However this is normal in any type of station all across [...]
Monday: 11 May 2009 The small quaint town of Maastricht in the south of the Netherlands is a different feel from the rest of the country and incorporates a mix of influence from Belgium and the Netherlands. This seems very logical given the border is only four kilometers away from the city center. Getting a [...]

Friday: 8 May 2009 I woke early the next morning and began chatting with Ian and Dave where we decided to go to the Blue Lagoon located south of Reykjavik with its ice blue waters, raising steam, calming energy and fascinating mineral deposits for a refreshing mask that is just part of the whole experience.

Thursday: 7 May 2009 Upon my arrival at Keflavik International Airport at 6:30 am, I met up with Sara Maynard who is also visiting Iceland and is from Berkley, California who happened to be arriving at the same time as myself on a plane departing from Boston, Massachusetts verses my flight that arrived from New [...]
Wednesday: 6 May 2009 The crisp fresh air after a constant drizzle of a late spring rain feels refreshing despite the views of those who reside in the large city and despise the dreary days in New York City. Especially since it interferes with daily activities for those who rely on walking from one destination [...]
