Paris, France

After Venice, into Paris to spend time with V's family. Get family photo puzzle gift from Daphne. Give grappa to Mario and Ambroise. Bebe Virgile is starting to take his first steps. 

Venice, Italy

Fairytale long weekend in Venice. Great food at slow food restaurants Local and Covino. Visit to "lace making" island Baruno, where we paid an old man (Julio) to take us on his little motor boat to an island monestary set up by Saint Francesco. Walked along the canals and tiny streets, took the water taxi. […]

Utrecht, Netherlands

Visit Andrea and Luissa, kids Valentine (junior!) and Nicoletta. Ride bikes through city, like rest of its Dutch residents, along canal and through quaint shopping district.

Tilburg, Netherlands

V teaches winter course at University of Tilburg. Stay in Auberge Du Bonheur hotel. Delivery Indonesian food. Walks to city center. Plan small vacation, debating between skiing in Alps (not enough snow, then avalanches, then super cold) vs Bruges (cold, rainy) vs Venice.
