Here we go again!

Yes, we're off again. To our parents' chagrin, we have made the decision to once again become expats.  We're looking forward to investing a bit more time this trip- two years to be exact. Follow us as we assimilate back into European way of life. Have I mentioned, how much I've missed high quality European food and freshly baked bread in grocery stores?

Some fun facts about Utrecht courtesy of Wiki:

  1. Utrecht is host to Utrecht University, the largest university in the Netherlands, as well as several other institutions of higher education.
  2. Due to its central position within the country, it is an important transport hub for both rail and road transport.
  3. It has the second highest number of cultural events in the Netherlands, after Amsterdam
  4. In 2012, Lonely Planet included Utrecht in the top 10 of the world’s unsung places


Needless to say, we were sold after a few walking tours via Google Maps. The city instantly reminded us of a blend between the quaint Belgian cities of Ghent and Bruges.

Below are a few recent shots of Ben's trip a few weeks back:
