Metz, France

Four women, two countries and one day were all it takes to make an awesome day. Our initial plan was to do a road trip to Metz, France which we did. But since we had extra hours to kill after making our rounds in Metz, Adriana suggested we visit Luxembourg which was jut 60kms drive, equivalent to an hour journey. Brilliant I tell you. The idea of being in two countries, well make that three since we started and ended our journey in Kaiserslautern, Germany. The day was made more awesome with great weather considering the previous days were wet. So after bidding my dear husband farewell, I joined the crew of the day; Eriko, Adriana and of course Polly. The city Metz was pretty cool. At this point, having been to a few cities in Europe, the excitement was derived not so much from seeing but simply from being; yes you see the same ol’ architecture buildings, narrow  and winding streets and alleys, rivers and bridges, cathedrals and museums, creperies and patisseries, that is Europe for me. But of course, I have not been to many other cities in other European countries like Austria, Italy, Spain and Greece that beg to differ. One day. That's the plan But first, Metz....
Where you know that you reach the intended destination

Where there are lanes designated for those who cycles

Where people walk their dogs, eat and sun bask under the mild summer sun

Where creperie/s tempt the weak like me

Where you find gigantic cathedral in amidst the city

Where you're further astounded by the interior of the cathedral

And again...

Where tourist get their tour info pack or map

Where when you see something as cool like this, it means picture time!

Where there's always that sky reaching roof exterior that makes an artistic shot.

Where the river flows under the bridge

Where you looked back and felt glad, you have good company for the day

Where you wished you're living in one of those apartments and you write for living

Where you don't mind walking under the moonlight, relishing on the still river and share silent conversation.

Where, hey, we're back here again.

Where when one is undecided of which path to venture

Where one decides to move on to the next adventure.

Next, Luxembourg. Till then.
