Here are some belated pictures from my brief trip over to Brussels and London (for interviews) and Copenhagen (for fun). They’re admittedly not the greatest pics because most were just taken with an old phone and because I was in interview-, not tourist-mode for most of the trip.
Namur, Belgium, viewed from my ex-editor’s husband’s ex-apartment. (Enough exes?)
Belgians like their potatoes. But everything’s good went you fill it with meat and melt brie on it.
On the tram to the Grottes de Han, Belgium’s answer to Luray Caverns.
Inside the Grottes de Han. (If you’re wondering, I’d say it’s not as good as Luray Caverns.)
More inside the Grottes de Han.
Mmmmmm…meat. (At Han-sur-Lesse, Belgium.)
Noelle teaching me to cook a shrimp/feta dish at her and her husband's new apartment. (Brussels, Belgium.)
The completed dish. (Brussels, Belgium.)
A Belgian relative perhaps? (Brussels, Belgium.)
Noelle’s piano is delivered through the window of her new apartment. (Brussels, Belgium.)
The Grande Place. (Brussels, Belgium.)
A heck of a toilet at The Rookery. (London, U.K.)
Passing by the dorm in which I lived two out of the three times I lived in London. (London, U.K.)
Inside NewsCorp HQ, where I met a couple former co-workers for coffee. (London, U.K.)
Borough Market, one of London’s greatest places to eat and shop. (London, U.K.)
![My [middle-]namesake store seen from the train. (Greater London, U.K.)](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52f5d964e4b0430a9907f282/1442383892022-SSNBLCKN0MTFWIWS6VL0/image-asset.jpeg)
My [middle-]namesake store seen from the train. (Greater London, U.K.)
A proper Danish hot dog. (Copenhagen, Denmark.)
An even more proper steak, at Gourmandiet, a butcher shop that turns into a tiny restaurant some nights. (Copenhagen, Denmark.)
The aftermath, at Gourmandiet. (Copenhagen, Denmark.)
A Danish in Denmark! (Copenhagen, Denmark.)
Vor Frelsers Kirke. We walked up that spiral staircase at the top (second time for me). (Copenhagen, Denmark.)
Having dinner with Simone, my Danish friend from my Paris summer law program. (Copenhagen, Denmark.)
We got coffee after dinner and stumbled upon this jazz group and then someone Simone tells me is a very famous Danish children’s television presenter (think Danish Mr. Rogers) rose from his table and joined in, playing a metal necktie.
Alexandra in Nyhavn. (Copenhagen, Denmark.)
The apartment we got for a steal on AirBnB. (Copenhagen, Denmark.)
