Road Tripping Europe

Discovering and photographing the unknown beauty of Europe

Our Adaptable Adventure – Living a good life in France

On 2 August, The Viking and I decided to take it easy. We explored the region a bit, without taking any pictures and went looking for food. Henrik gave us the name and address of a good supermarket and we were certainly not disappointed. Prices were reasonable and there was a huge variety of quality food.

Although we like our cosy apartment in Brussels very much, there is one thing that we do miss: we can’t sit outside. No terrace, no balcony, nothing. When the weather is fine, we have to seek refuge in a park. Now that we had a little house with not one, but two terraces, we were of course not going to stay inside.

Every evening, we ate outside. We cooked a simple, but delicious dinner. Afterwards, we watched the sun go down and looked at the changing colors of the sky. And then we waited until we saw the stars appear. Every evening we had this same ritual. And although it was very simple, we enjoyed it very much.
