I’ve seen this in several social media posts with rave reviews but I don’t really get it. It has a cafe with good coffee but thats the norm here. No wifi. The asthetic is bland. The bookshop is good but not especially different. There was a little art around and it was nice. To see the upstairs gallery/museum was €9. Nothing downstairs inspired me to invest. Maybe I missed the point? Anyone want to enlighten me? #book #bookshop #books #reader #paris #parisfrance #visitparis #france #visitfrance #travel #traveling #beautifuldestinations #solotravels

St. Michael’s, Luxembourg: The oldest religious site in the Ville Haute (literally High City which is the part of town you’re in) St. Michaels began as five alters in 987. Near a crossroad, trade began and a settling followed. The current building is dated 1688. It is small, quiet, and very well suited for quiet meditation. #luxembourg #visitluxembourg #travel #traveling #beautifuldestinations #solotravels

National Museum of Art and History Luxembourg: Right in the center of the city, the national museum is quite something. I went for the art but can assure you the other collections were there, NINE floors worth. These are some of my favorites. The sculpture of Malatesta and Rimini by Angelini (1857/60), because, you know, a love story. Look closely at the Picasso. He was moving from a favorite apartment due to development and painted the view, including the crane! Then there’s Feipel and Bechameil’s sculpture in wood mimicking Magritte’s le modèle vivant. Rabinger’s view of the city and the staircase speak for themselves. Luxembourg City, Luxembourg #luxembourg #visitluxembourg #travel #traveling #beautifuldestinations #solotravels

Fulda, Germany: No one with whom I shared my itinerary knew about Fulda. To be honest, my reason for coming here specifically was to see Katherine Kempf, author of The Mimameid Solution. I travel anywhere to meet an author I admire. But Fulda is incredible. First day walk around through the town on the most pleasant fall day was loaded with history. Be prepared for quite a bit of fall ambiance because I am in love with everything about it. Fulda’s official history begins with its inhabitants being taken in by the Catholic Church in 744 with the building of a monastery. The town has a storied past interwoven with power plays, witch trials, and contributions to the enemy side of the American Revolution. My history loving interest is piqued. The Baroque architecture that became the norm in the 18th century is stunning. This is going to be a fascinating addition to the adventure. #themimameidsolution #fulda #visitfulda #baroque #baroquearchitecture #architecture #germany #travel #traveling #beautifuldestinations #solotravels

Zons, Germany pt 2 The Pig War of 1575/77. It seems soldiers from the Archbishop of Cologne stole Zons’ herd of pigs, all 50 of them, causing a major skirmish. Fear not though, the citizens prevailed and the pigs recovered. This fountain and collection of bronze statues were created in 1959 by sculptor Bernhard Lohf to commemorate the great event. #medieval #medievalhistory #sculpture #zons #dusseldorf #visitdusseldorf #germany #travel #traveling #beautifuldestinations #solotravels

Pretty sure it’s See You Later instead of goodbye but I do have to leave nonetheless. Antwerp was a random choice in my travel adventure part 1. I did no research and had no plan and it was a continuous gift the entire time I was here. There wasn’t one part I didn’t love. My Airbnb was perfect. Great hosts, fantastic location, recommendations galore, I couldn’t have asked for more. Thanks Antwerp. Be back soon.
