Maastricht

It's safe to say that Maastricht is one of the finer European cities! First and foremost is the history, which is evident most in the Old Town. The city is very comfortable, livable and diverse. The attention given to biking is particularly nice. I have biked to, and through, town several times. On Monday, I biked to Belgium, which sounds exotic, but it was just a 20-minute ride. There was a very large flea market held every year on the Pentecost Sunday, the Christian feast commemorating the descent of teh HOly Spirit upon the Apostles on the 50th day after the Resurrection of Christ (description complements of the World Tribune!)


The new pedestrian bridge over the River Maas.


The main train station.


A line for frites.
