Since we can’t actually go anywhere, I thought it would be fun to take a European vacation right here at home. No jet lag, no travel time, no overcrowded tourist sites… what’s not to love?
We started the day off with cappuccinos at a nice Parisian café.
For breakfast, we headed over to Belgium for some light and fluffy Belgian waffles.
After breakfast, we jetted to London to tour the British Museum.
We then went back to France to take a cooking course, but unfortunately the course was only available in French, so Maciek had to prepare a traditional potato and leek soup following directions that were only given to him in French.
Of course it’s not a trip to France without wine, baguettes, and brie cheese.
We then departed France for Spain, where Maciek promptly took a siesta.
In the afternoon, we watched a Spanish film (Contratiempo) and then took a flamenco dance lesson.
For dinner, we went to Italy and had a formal 9-course Italian dinner:
We finished the evening off with a German opera (Wagner’s Tannhäuser), and then returned to our apartment in Inuvik, almost as if we had never left.
