A few photos of Saint Petersbourg (I prefer the French spelling). Room with a view at Ermitage, Church - now a museum-, rain, mosque, metro, sky at midnight, June 23rd festivities, canal and reflection.
Cinque Terre (North East of Italy) offers wonderful shapes and colors along with beautiful landscape in small towns that are within walking distance of each other. No car needed. You can travel by boat and foot.
Since I was just in Belgium, I wanted to share a few images. Brussels is a fabulous place to visit (so are the other smaller towns in Belgium). Great buildings, people, food and beer!
I have been away and keeping company to my young Korean friend Tamara who just had this perfect baby boy. Miliko is his name. No distant trip can replace such a great moment. It all happened in Belgium so I guess it can qualify as an "abroad" moment!
