Lille, France, just across the border

Image
My last ISOW trip was to Lille, France, which is literally across the Belgian boarder. This was another day trip, so we only had a few hours (6hrs) to look around. I went off on my own after we arrived around 10:30am. First stop was La Grand Place.  Standing in the center of the squares stands the Goddess commemorating Lille's resistance to the Austrian siege in 1792. In front of the Old Stock Exchange built from 1652 to 1653, is one of the town's finest building. This building is made up of 24 little houses around an arched courtyard. A second-hand book market can be seen inside. On this square is situated the Grand Garde. Coming out the other side is the Theater and the Chambre de Commerce. A walk around gives you the opportunity to see the Musee Hospice Comtesse (which I couldn't find the entrance for) and the Catherdral Notre-Dame de la Treille named in honor of a statue of the Virgin protected by an iron trellis. When you are in the cen...

Florida: John F. Kennedy Space Center

J. F. Kennedy Space Center on Merrit Island, Florida. It's a place that, for me at least, conjures up memories of childish wonder and awe. A place of space travel, astronauts,  moon walks, and yes, Star Trek. I went back to those memories with a three-day, two-night mini vacation to Cocoa Beach. I would love to say that my childhood came alive again, but to be honest, while there were some interesting things at Kennedy, the overall feeling was one of age and sadness. It felt like a war memorial to the 1980s. The three and a half hour drive from Tampa to Cocoa Beach was uneventful on a Friday morning. We took the toll roads which significantly reduced the traffic and back tracking and only hit rain on the east-side of Orlando. Finding the Days Inn on Cocoa Beach wasn't hard, it's about half-way down the island on the waterfront, right at the Cocoa Beach Pier (5500 N Atlantic Ave, Cocoa Beach, FL 32931). The room had a microwave, coffee pot, refrigerator and a large...
