the best weekend trip in europe

i couldn't let a second year go by (my visit there last year also coincided with one of this blog's hibernation periods) without mentioning that the best weekend trip in europe is without a doubt catching the keukenhof gardens during the two months of the year that they're open. (late march to late may) lots and lots of flower pictures here!

now that i'm a boring permanent swiss employee, i can no longer claim to be living the exciting life of being on an international assignment. so this blog may degenerate into something like a weekend update, but hey, one of my favorite blogs is a weekend update! (hi hwh) and i still manage to sneak in some interesting destinations over weekends, although i've seriously calmed down my travel schedule since last year. there will be much more simply enjoying the zurich lake, trying to learn how to take care of plants, and hanging out with friends now that i have some. :) but anyway, this is just to say that i'll try to write more regularly!
