Greenwich

Filed in family, friends, travel

Yeah, we’re travel dorks. We met Rick Steves in a chess bar in Brussels called Greenwich. He wasn’t disguised in all khaki, or wearing his glasses so AJ and I were slightly thrown off, but Tim called it right away. He was really nice, and even though he was on the end of a 6 week trip to update his guide books, he stopped to chat with us.

I know Cynthia will be sooooo jealous.

::NOTE::

Be sure to check out YouTube for a few videos of our trip, especially the musical show that accompanied the Flower Carpet in Brussels. I will try to upload the videos throughout the week. Flickr only supports 90 seconds of video, so YouTube is it.

    Nice! I’ve never met him, but did you know I edit his guidebooks? Just starting on one today.

    No way!! I’m jealous too. I’m using his tour company for my trip to Turkey in October!

    ^And how do I get a gig like Amy’s got?

    That’s hysterical. Cyn is going to be pissed she missed him.

    Oh my goodness! I so wish I was there! I would have given that guy a piece of my mind for leading Suz and I to the worst tapas place in Seville.
