Bruges in Photos

You know those days when you have a million things that you should do?

You plan all day how productive you're going to be once you get home from work.

Then you get home, shoes and bra off before you're even fully in the door.

And then you watch 6 episodes of Orange is the New Black and drink wine.

While wrapped up in your woobie.  And scarfing chinese take out.

That.

Here are some photos from our weekend in Bruges, Belgium.

   

 

  And I call myself a travel blogger.  I'm so sorry I don't have much to say today.

I hope the photos show the true loveliness of Bruges.

Belgium is one of my favorite European countries and always gives me a special moment.
I will never forget walking back to the hotel and seeing the canals at night.
 

The black water was perfectly still.
A crystal clear mirror reflecting the beautiful architecture of the city.
I felt like I could dive right in and fly to the rooftops.

 Have you seen Bruges at night?

Ghent in Photos

Still a bit lost for words, but got some news that could potentially change things.

How's that for cryptic?  I'll keep you posted as I know more.

In the mean time, here are some photos from Ghent, Belgium.

It doesn't really need words.  What an incredible city?!?

We almost decided against popping over from Bruges on the train,

but I'm so glad that we did.  It's straight out of a fairytale.

Probable the most picturesque European city I've seen so far.

Doesn't our lunch look divine?

Best meal-eaten-while-sitting-in-the-sun-people-watching-in-a-gorgeous-city EVER!

What city reminds you a a fairy tale?

High Atlas Part 1

Greeting you with an enthusiastic hug!  I've missed you and this little blog of mine.

Going from spending about 8 hours a day blogging and everything that goes with it

to full-time accounting again has been quite the adjustment.

I'm still loving my new job (I've even started dreaming in debits and credits again),

however, when I get home after a long day I just want NetFlix and wine before bed.

We were also traveling the past two weekends, so I just haven't had any time to blog.

Obviously, the blog will be changing a bit and I'm fine with that.

Less pressure to grow my stats and network,  it's once again my scrapbook scrapblog.
 I love travel, photography, blogging and exploring so none of that will change.

I hope that you will stick around.  As I've said before the best thing about blogging

is the connections I've made.

I'm editing hundreds of photos from Dunkirk, Gravelines, Bruges and Ghent

that I can't wait to show you.  But in the mean time, I really want to finish up with our Moroccan holiday. 

While we were in Marrakesh, we had an optional day trip up into the High Atlas Mountains.

Here are the photos from the first half of that day.

We stopped at a small cooperative where Berber women make Argon Oil by crushing argon nuts.

It's one of the rarest oils on earth and is used medicinally, cosmetically and in cooking.

We didn't get close to any camels during our time in Morocco, but hopefully on future travels.

We took a bus to a small town at the base of the mountains and stopped for some mint tea.

It was such a beautiful little spot full of children and families.

The primary mode of transportation changes from cars to donkeys the higher up you go.

If only I could have rented one of these beasts of burden to get me to our next stop.

Later this week I'll tell you about our walk hike up to the next village. 

Have you ever ridden a camel or a donkey?
