There are small beachside towns where you can find affordable accommodations including hotels, resorts, and backpacker sites.

Poland sits along the Baltic sea. There are miles of coastline for travelers to enjoy. Summer beach vacations to Poland can be rather busy, but because of the wide stretches of sandy beach, it hardly ever gets too crowded. The Poland beach tourist season stretches from around May to September, with the peak months being July and August.
Poland is a beautiful country with some of the most pleasant and beautiful beaches along the Baltic coastline. If you plan on taking a beach vacation anytime soon, you should definitely consider visiting Poland. Just remember to bring your sunscreen, especially if you plan on going during the hot summer.

Europe's middle ages took place from 5th-16th century. The medieval period is an era before the Rennaissance and is characterized by the height of religions, most especially Roman Catholicism. It was when Papacy started, which has become the most controversial power in this world. The Pope, who is the most famous and most powerful human being on Earth, leads the Papacy. The Pope is said to be the successor of St. Peter, whom God called the "rock" where He would build His church. Middle ages or the medieval period in Europe has different signification in its different region.
One example is the medieval France. The medieval France signifies the modern period of France from the great Charlemagne's death in 814 to the mid-15th century. The Carolingian empire and the vicious Merovingian royalty had lived during this era. One trace of the medieval period of France is the invasion of the cruel Viking invasion. Of course, who would ever forget the epidemic of Black Death? Throughout the medieval ages, France has molded its unique French identity.
Even though France has been among the best European regions because of its history, the entire Europe has an affluent history also and an interesting culture. The early beginning of European middle age is when Clovis conquered France as well as Belgium, and he converted the terrorists of the area to Catholic Christians. The period ended when Henry VIII succeeded Henry VII.

Last Christmas my friend went for a holiday cruise in Europe. He says that their trip was full of fun and luxury. What do you expect? It's a European cruise.

Athens is the capital city of the majestic Greece. It lies in the heart of Grecian infrastructures and classical monuments. Among the enchnating cities of Europe, Athens stands out the best because of the classical aura and relics. It looks like a wide kingdom of Grecian gods and goddesses. Athens was modernized in 1834. It is currently the biggest city of Greece because it has more than 1/3 of Greek population. Its beauty lures millions of tourists every year.
Friday, May 4. 2007
Athens has grown into a full blown city and its modernity has brought many disadvantages to the Greek capital. Air pollution has also passed by the Athenian sky. However, the government of Greece made measures in order to get rid of the pollution and improve Athens' atmosphere. This is because the Olympic competition is usually held in Greece. To attract more tourists and visitors they have to take care of the Athenian atmosphere and sustain its beauty.
Thursday, May 3. 2007
 Sure, Athens is comparable to France in terms of historical affluence and grandiose beauty. But, both places have their uniqueness. France has a royal aura while Greece has a classic aura. Some say that France is better than Greece. For me, Greece is more elegant because of its gods and godesses. Even though Greece doesn't hold grand film festivals like Cannes in France, it is still rich in literature and culture.

The newly-opened food plaza in our neighborhood, which is three blocks away from the house, is a place filled with classical music, kind waiters, and food that requires one to learn French and Italian vocabulary before ordering. I'm not very comfortable with these kind of restaurants. I'm happiest in places where I can pick the food that I want without the worry of bringing an English-Italian dictionary. Good thing my wife, Mara, knows European cuisine by heart so it's like bringing a walking Italian dictionary.
Saturday, April 28. 2007
 The waiter or the butler who was wearing an all white ensemble greeted us with the sweetest and the most indecipherable greeting I've ever heard. "He said welcome and good night," Mara whispered. We were thinking of ordering a plate of Carbonara and a roll of Vienna bread. Carbonara is the only Italian pasta that I eat aside from lasagna and spaghetti. This is because the three noodles are the only European food that I know. I like it because it has bacon, and bacon is from America.
Friday, April 27. 2007
According to a quick Internet search, Carbonara is actually the sauce and not the whole meal. It is an Italian pasta sauce that is made from eggs, black pepper, pig's cheek, and jowl bacon. Other ingredients include cheese, milk, garlic and parsley. The term carbonara came from the word carbone which means coal. Many Italians believe that the sauce got its name from charcoal miners who love the food so much. So, I thank all the Italian coal miners for introducing the dish to the world.
