I am learning that much of Europe was built to accommodate people much shorter than my six foot five inch frame. This blog will go dormant for about a week and a half while we enjoy a vacation visiting a close friend of Nancy’s in the Basque country, but until we return, here are a few candid, unscripted shots of me finding out the hard way that I am taller than most Europeans.

The basement hallway where we keep our bikes. Ouch!

A passageway through the wall of the old city in Lucerne.

The entryway to our room at the hostel in Nice. Doh!

Getting into our mini-cooper rental car. Clank!

Ascending the stairs at the University of Geneva library. Doink!

I’ve learned –finally– to duck.

Thanks for following my blog. Back with more enlightening posts in a couple weeks!
