I have wandered the ancient streets of Rome. Visited the canals and museums of Amsterdam. Boated on Lake Geneva. Marvelled at the Chagall stained glass windows in Zurich. Sipped hot mulled wine, meandering the stalls of the Christmas market in Mainz. Sweated out Octoberfest in Munich. Basked by the pool in Santiago. Splashed in the Mediterranean off Barcelona and Tel Aviv. Fallen in love in Paris. Found out why a danish is called a danish in Copenhagen. Savoured the fresh fruit in Bogotá.

Regaled myself on mussels and waffles in Brussels.
