Switzerland part III: The people of Place de la Palud

This is going to be my last post about my recent stay in Switzerland. For those who don’t know, Place de la Palud is located in Lausanne and is the home to 16th century Fountain of Justice as well as well as an old clock.

Weekly photo challenge: infinite

This is my first participation in the Weekly Photo Challenge. This week’s theme is: infinite.

Liège: Gare des Guillemins

It’s hard to believe the train station shown below, Gare des Guillemins, was first built in 1842. Well, that might just be because this train station was recently renovated (2009) into a state-of-the-art facility. In fact, it might just be the most modern train station in Belgium. It took about 10 years to renovate and build it. The architecture is so unique that people travel to this station just to take pictures.

Show some pride (and some skin)

I know this is a little out of place cause pride month was last month, but I’m going through my old photos, and I just came across these. I took these in 2009 in San Francisco. This was taken 4 years before Prop 8 was overturned and DOMA struck down. It was a very different atmosphere back then.

España: all around Denia

This is the last post about Denia that I’ll share in a while.

España: reporting from the seafood auction

I’d never been to one of those, and it’s kind of interesting to see how it works. At the end of each day, the fishermen come back from from the sea and try to sell what they fished at the best price possible. To do so, they unload their fish from their boats and bring it to what is called the outcry market. There, professionals bid on the price of the fish.

España: Teulada

It’s Teulada‘s turn to get its own post on my blog. While visiting Spain last week, I spent a day there and went to the local flea market. I also went to a great seafood restaurant owned by a French guy.

España: Jàvea

Last week, I visited a few towns on the Costa Blanca in Spain. In this first Spanish post, I’m taking you to Jàvea (Xàbia in Valencian).
