Tracking Crete’s Mysterious Minoans
This is a guest post from Vera Marie, a free lance writer who blogs about books, movies and travel at A Traveler’s Library. I was hooked on the Minoan culture, when I first saw their art. These beautiful creations had been conceived by an artist who lived 2000 years ago. As it turned out, that first Minoan painting I saw was painted in 1905, a recreation of the Minoan (1900-1500 B.C.E.) wall murals at Knossos. My husband and I had put Knossos, near Heraklion, at the top of our must-do list for our visit to Crete. We had already gazed at ...

Danishes In Denmark
True to their name, there are danishes (and Danes) all over Denmark and the capital Copenhagen. There are plenty of bakeries around, in addition to the lunch restaurants that only serve food until about 3pm, then close for the day. I took this picture as I made my way to Christiania, which I’ll be writing more about next week. While some of the... [Read more of this review]
One Of The Thousands: A Bike In Amsterdam
There are an estimated 600,000 bicycles in Amsterdam, which has a population of around 750,000 people.

The water temperature stays a constant 40C (104F) throughout the year, even during the dark winter months. The added cold makes the warm waters even more enjoyable and... [Read more of this review]
The Christmas Market In Lubeck, Germany
This was my first time at any of Germany’s famous Christmas markets which pop up around December. The market was active with people shopping for last-minute gifts, drinking punsch (a sweet liqueur served warm), and of course eating candy. I enjoyed the spirit in the market which was bustling, but the punsch…not so much. AKPC_IDS += "6136,"; Read More →
