Cityscapes: Europe 2000 and 2001

As I mentioned in Friday's post, I went through old images to find some cityscapes. These are from trips to Europe in 2000 and 2001. 

I haven’t traveled internationally since then. After the 911 attacks in 2001, airline travel became less comfortable and less fun. Not only did the extra security measures mean more standing in line, but the airlines lost money and decided to make up for it by making seats smaller and offering fewer services. I have flown within the USA to visit relatives, but even these flights were not comfortable.

Frank and I went to France and Belgium in the year 2000. I had been to Paris once before, on an educational tour with a group from Northern Virginia Community College. We visited Belgium because Frank’s daughter Susan was there with her husband, who was stationed there with the army. We enjoyed having them as our tour guides.

A year later, we returned to Europe for two reasons. One was that Marie was spending time in Berlin as part of her first world tour, and  the other was that Susan had her first baby. 

We also made a visit to London on that trip.
