So, A little more about Bruge. We stayed in the most spectacular hotel...more like a boutique hotel, called Hotel de Orangerie. It was so beautifully decorated and the breakfast buffet was so nice!
I even saw a bride and groom.
So...let's get to what I would change in America from visiting Europe (because I know you can't wait to hear it)-
1. Public transportation -Europe's has got it down! Why can't we have something like that? At least in California. We took the bullet train from Amsterdam to Paris! What an incredible ride! In Paris, The Metro was so convenient and took us every we wanted to go. We even rode buses a few times. Everything was clean and efficient. So opposite of here. The Metro in DC is the exception.
2. Cameras on the road-
Sorry to say but we need policing. People here in Southern California, do not follow the laws and it's scary. I don't know where they came from, but I don't ever remember it being so bad (I grew up here). People run red lights like it's nothing, and the freeway is full of crazy drivers out for themselves.
We drove on the freeway in The Netherlands and everyone drove the speed limit, which made it a very pleasant drive. If you've ever noticed, speeder don't really get there faster.
3. And the best thing that Europe had that we definitely need here
Pay for toilets it's about $1 but in my opinion worth every penny. Having a bathroom attendant assures
everything is clean, toilet paper stocked, and safe (safer than not being there)
Of course these are just my opinions and some will disagree and I know this has nothing to do with art but I just wanted to get that out.
My next post will be all about Paris and art!
Here's a few older pieces I did that remind me to Europe. I have so many!
