I’m a little embarrassed to say so, but one of the main reasons I enjoy traveling to Europe is to eat delicious pastries. And it’s not just the pastry…it’s the act of eating it outside under an umbrella while drinking a cappuccino and “people-watching.”
Today I stumbled upon several patisseries in my general neighborhood. They’re about a 15 minute walk away…not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing. Anyway, I had a wonderful strawberry and custard tart with a cappuccino. Magnificent.
I then took a long walk away from the city center along the Maas River. It was beautiful and the cool breeze was refreshing…but I could have done without the gnats. On my walk, I discovered that the St. Pietersberg caves are basically in my backyard. I was too late for a tour, but I hope to visit them tomorrow.
I came home in the early evening to prepare for my Skype meeting with my group members in our capstone class in Missouri. Got to love technology.
