life.

what im doing in instagram format.

I was standing at La Basilique Norte Dame de Fourvière, when the clouds parted and rays of sunlight beamed down the entire Lyon. So naturally I yelled "TOO MUCH BEAUTY". Um traveling alone also makes you talk to yourself #melaniegoesstag

A "casual" lunch. Mais, anguille fumée, emulsion pili Lili a Groiselle. For dessert, apricot, mousse fromage blanc and sable breton. #melaniegoesstag

Ok. I forgot that Lyon is considered the gastronomic capital of France/world. I get here and restaurant after restaurant is Michelin this, Michelin that. I roll my ass into an Aesop to get a fancy ass hair gel thing to flounce my new hair with, and everyone goes "omg you MUST go to Le Potager des Halles" so here I am, eating the best octopus on risotto and speck with a glass of Bourgogne wine laughing to myself about this post and this life in general. #melaniegoesstag

Being in the most beautiful city, seeing the most incredible views, eating the most mouth watering food, I don't think I'll ever be done exploring Paris. Now onto my last dozen oysters here before I zip to Lyon! #melaniegoesstag

I've found heaven. #melaniegoesstag

Did not realize my hotel would be an exact replica of images I have been pinning under "homes" for the past 3 years. #melaniegoesstag

A non-Belgian, drinking Belgian beer, by a Belgian canal, in a Belgian UNESCO world heritage site. 👋🏼👋🏼 from Brugge. #melaniegoesstag

Lady meal for one. Ok this is the best bouillabaisse I've ever had. But then again, I'm going to Paris in 4 days... #melaniegoesstag

The princess definitely seems to be in another castle

Canal-thingies, lotus thingies, red thingies, textured thingies, windy thingies all made my last day in Amsterdam full of thingies. Now 🔜 Antwerp!

My cup (and belly) is full with delicious cappuccinos, beautiful architecture, and I'm averaging one sci-fi book a day. So if you have any more reccomendations.....#melaniegoesstag

I've been eating the ocean my whole life and have finally found my favorite oyster: the Gillardeau. Apparently called the "Rolls Royce of oysters" -- whatever that means. The shells had laser etching on them because people counterfeit them! #melaniegoesstag

Very well could be #melaniegoesstag

I lub you home of mine

Happy Fathers Day to my scuba dad who taught me it's best to be the first on the airplane and that Thanksgiving is best for hot pot and oysters, not turkey. 👨‍👧

This is how @maxluster carries bags around town. Can you guess which cat is which superhero?
