Abbaye Orval

We spent a great weekend in the area near the Orval Abbaye. If you know belgian beer, then you know Orval. It was the best of the trappist breweries we have visited, there as actually a lot you could visit/see inside the abbaye, which is not the case with other's we have visited.

We are going home on saturday for just over a week! My brother is getting married so that will be great. I have been working like a dog the last month trying to finish up a publication, as I have to wait on my job hunt until after that is submitted. Sorry my 365 activity has suffered greatly.

I will be posting something when I get back from the states, in September I will be plugging you all for votes for a photo contest I entered in Aachen. The voting for finalists will be online. Cheers!

Sounds like you are making the most of your last weeks in Europe! Do cycling and beer drinking go together well??

[Steve Harvey]

@Cherrill: Hah! As long as you reward yourself after biking with the beer, it works out great! :)

What a great shot! Looks like a great place to visit! Nice to hear you'll get the chance to come home for your brother's wedding!

I really like this shot- the sign and old building fit together. The b&w gives it that "old world" feel. Very nice! Happy and safe travels- congratulations to your brother!
