Well, Kevin and I planned to go to the Mosel Valley camping this weekend. But, the weather report predicts rain and temperatures in the 60s all weekend. While I'm not one to plan my life around the weather, the thought of sleeping on the soggy ground for two days is entirely unappealing.
This morning I went online to search for an alternative plan. Looks like the travel gods may be working in my favor today. Turns out there is a huge festival in Ghent, Belgium that starts tomorrow. It’s called the Gentse Feesten (Ghent Festival), and takes place ever year for ten days in the middle of July. The event is actually four festival mashed together, the Blue Note Jazz Festival, the International Street Theater Festival, the International Puppet Festival, and 10 Days Off, a dance festival (I think that's club dancing, not ballet).
Ghent, a city I wanted to visit anyway, is about a two and a half hour drive from our house. Now I'm just need to try to pull together the lose strings. I'll update you tomorrow or Monday with whether or not I was able to pull off the trip.
About Me
- Erin
- Ridgewood, NJ, United States
- In the fall of 2007 my husband and I moved to Germany. After more than a year of traveling, eating, and living abroad, we were transferred back to the states. At the time of our return, I was 34 weeks pregnant. This is a true account of our re-assimilation, reverse culture shock, and impending adventure into parenthood.
A Southern Something
I don't think there are quite enough sausages in the South to maintain the "Wurst of the Week." Instead, I am replacing this sidebar feature with "A Southern Something." To start, I'd like to introduce you to chow chow. A pickled relish, chow chow can be made from any number of vegetables, including cabbage, onions, or green tomatoes.
