Walking Around Gent

Here are some pictures I took walking around Gent.




Here is a fun building. It was hard to take a picture of the full building without getting the tram lines. The building is crazy enough, that I decided to go with the building & the tram lines in the picture. :)



And as always, McDonalds.

Here is a picture of the cannon, Mad Meg (lower left hand side) They had to plug the end because they had homeless people living in it. Apparently it was never fired.

Weekend Trip - Gent Belgium

We stayed in a brand new Marriott in the historic downtown area.  Here are some pictures I took from the website and then I have some pictures of my room and then the view from my room. 

The red sign above the window on the third building is the Marriott sign.

 Same view, slightly further away of the back of the hotel at night.

 Here is the lobby area

 Here is the view looking down at the lobby at night.

 This picture was taken with me standing in the doorway to my room.
The stairs look fun, but aren't fun in the middle of the night! :)

 Here is the Closet

 Here is my bed, with all of my stuff on it. Probably should of thought of that before I dumped everything on it, but I was getting ready to leave when I realized I still hadn't taken any pictures of my room.

Here is the opposite view of my room. Can you find me in the picture?

Here is the window, that gives you a little bit of an idea of what I could see from my window.

AND HERE IS THE VIEW FROM MY ROOM....





Design doesn't always mean Fashion

Walking around Rotterdam we came across a couple of workout outfits that are sure to draw attention. My personal favorite is the shoes to complete the outfit!
