Art-Noveau - "La Vague" - Saintenoy
Originally uploaded by GeS

If I get a chance to travel any time soon, I think my first choice of places to go would be Brussels, Belgium. Number one, obviously, is for the architecture - especially the amazing art nouveau work. Most people my age have probably seen the movie Casper - I guess it came out when I was 12 - and my favorite part of that movie was always the house. That's even more based on Gaudi's work in Barcelona, so I guess I'll have to go there as well :)
I'm not really well versed in nouveau architecture - I know the names Horta and Saintenoy - so if I do get the chance to visit Brussels I'll make this my favorite new website.

There are also other things pulling me to Brussels - many museums, beer and french fries followed by chocolate, and the rather nerdy Brussels Comic Strips Center. We have a Cartoon Art Museum here in San Francisco that I've visited - they were having a large R. Crumb exhibit which was cool. So, now that I've officially applied for my US Passport (finally) I can start looking forward to this. Someday.
