Back in Belgium for the last two weeks of the year. It was cold but beautiful when I walked to the bakery in the morning.
A gas light on the wall of a tavern called 'Five horses'.
Boston still has around 2,500 gas lights throughout the city. The first gas lights were introduced in 1828. Prior to 1828, Boston used oil lamps to light the streets. While gas lights provide a lot of character to the neighborhood, they are not great for carbon emission. Recently, the city decided to replace them with LED lights that mimic real flames.

A large sign that reads 'Acquia'.
The next months, we are organizing Acquia events around the world. We are calling it the 'Acquia Freedom Tour'. We just kicked off our tour with our first event at the Fontainebleau hotel on Miami Beach. Up next: New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Tokyo, London and more.

A woman laughing in the glow of a campfire.
Any excuse for a campfire is a good one. Colder temperatures is certainly one of them. The outside temperature was 43 degrees Fahrenheit (or 6 degrees Celsius).

Wooden sign that reads "Mt Moosilauke, 4802 ft".
Obligatory photo of the sign at the top of Mount Moosilauke. The hike was 10 miles (16 kilometers) long and took us to a height of 4,802 feet (1,470 meters). Lots of climbing but the views from the top were worth it.

Our espresso machine on the kitchen counter of the rental cabin.
Making lattes in the morning light. Even though we are 'glamping' in a remote cabin, Vanessa brought our espresso machine (and her barista). Yes, we are one of those families now.
A rental cabin with walls made out of wood, basic curtains, and nice fall light coming through the window.
We rented a cabin in Woodstock, New Hampshire for the weekend. Very rustic cabin made entirely out of wood. We are planning to do a big hike as the fall foliage is in full swing.

It's mid-October already! It might be getting colder and darker, but it's not too late to have dinner outside. Petit Robert, South End, Boston.
