Europe!
November 20th, 2009 | designSo this past weekend Seth and I booked our trip to Europe. We plan on going in and out of London, with stops in Reading, England; Den Haag, Holland; Edinburgh, Scotland; Antwerp, Belgium; and maybe other places along the way that strike our fancy. If you are even a somewhat seasoned traveler or live abroad and have any suggestions of places that are fun (and sort of inexpensive) to stay, eat, or just swing by in those areas, please comment! I would really value some input. We’re going to be there in late January which is rapidly approaching.
By the way, the Library of Congress just put up a bunch of photochrom images of Holland today on Flickr which is where I found the image above.

Wow–sounds like a fantastic trip. January is a good time to go, too, in terms of tourist traffic. Not too familiar with Holland or Belgium (unfortunately, but theres still time to remedy that) but Edinburgh is a good walking town. Anywhere in England is fabulous, really. Complete Anglophile. Reading should be wonderful. Really cheap stay is, as always, hostels. It depends on your aesthetic, though, and how comfortable you are with sharing rooms.
Hope this helps a little bit!

In London, you’ll want to see the new Museum of Everything near Chalk Farm. It shows the work of unknown, forgotten artists and it’s amazing. There are so many wonderful free museums, I like Sir John Soane quite a bit, and you can always check Time Out London for events going on whatever week you are here. Have fun!
