There is alot of knowledge out there in fact its all a bit overwhelming when you considering how much you want to digest! But Ive identified two main gaps in my knowledge i wish to fill. Knowledge of Philosophy & Theology, which I guess in turn exists under and in relation to the larger body of ‘history’ too, aswell as learn more about human anatomy & biology, including a greater understanding of science, so that actually encompasses alot more than two main areas!. So much to learn -so little time….

where to start… ? .. ? . . . ? .

Once upon a day in Maastricht…

What a beautful little city oozing with history, style, eliquence and age. We had chosen our day well for there was a huge market on in the central square when we arrived. There was such diverse amount of stalls and a huge variety of gormet food that made it difficult to decide upon where to lunch! However we wisely chose to dine from an Italian cart. It was so simplistically sumptuous that i was almost convinced to make Italy next on my agenda. There were some beautiful churches and the architecture was stunning, it looked as though Rapunzel was going to let down her long hair out of a towering window! :P

all in all a very pleasant day indeed
