Belgium miscellaneous
In case you were wondering about fines for failing to clean up your dog’s poop, Antwerp and Bruges make it pretty easy to find out. Two museums I skipped but could have easily been persuaded to visit. With staircases as narrow and steep and winding as this, it’s no wonder Ikea and their … Continue reading
El Salvador miscellaneous
It was just a short trip, but El Salvador made a strong enough impression on me that I was sad to board my flight out of the country. A few odds and ends from El Salvador: Update Since writing about the mangos in my Juayúa post, I've been told that the seasoning I couldn't … Continue reading

We’d had such a great trip that it was nice to not end it contemplating genocide. We … Continue reading
A muddy drive
