I guess I forgot to write about London. Not because it wasn’t worth writing about but because each time I sat down to do it I was overwhelmed by the task. How does one write a concise entry about such a place and such a trip?
First of all, I have to comment on [...]
In Germany, festivals abound. I cannot even tell you how many festivals we have happened upon in numerous cities. Even our small town of perhaps 200 people has had two or three festivals since we’ve been here. Festivals are held for all sorts of things, but my favorite are the celebrations of [...]
I’m losing the spider war. I’m fine with a little spider here or there. They don’t even really make me squeamish if I know where they are. But huge mammoth spiders are invading our basement apartment, munching on me in the night. It’s really getting out of control. I’m losing sleep and feeling desperate. At [...]
We have fulfilled half of our obligation, spent half of our money, experienced half our adventure. We’ve consumed half the pretzels and beer, taken half of the pictures and put half of the miles on our BMW we will before we leave. We’ve seen half of Sports Night and half of another show I swore [...]
Josh and Clarissa were hoping visiting us would mean they’d be featured on our website. I’d say it qualifies. They stayed at our house in Steinbach and enjoyed a delicious meal at our favorite place, “The Train Station.” I think Tyler and I have almost achieved “regular” status (not as in being [...]
Since this year marks both our one-year wedding anniversary and our 10-year together anniversary, we figured we’d celebrate twice. Especially since we’ve never celebrated an anniversary before (one year we had a 7-year itch party…). I have to say, I’m pretty into this and I think we’ll have to make it a regular event (yearly, [...]
Tyler and I are both a year older (actually just a day older than we were yesterday…). We went to Heidelberg (a town about an hour away that has a castle, lots of tourists and cute, fun-to-explore, windy streets) to celebrate Tyler’s birthday. Don’t forget to check out the picture of Tyler’s ENORMOUS [...]
I’m realizing there are two main types of traveling. Sightseeing and relaxing. Certainly the two can be combined, but sometimes you have to pick one or the other. I’m still not sure what I like more. I think sometimes I like seeing things to say I’ve seen them, or to have [...]
I was so looking forward to seeing Jim and Linda that I forgot to think about going to Italy. I didn’t read up on it. I knew it would be wonderful, but didn’t know quite what to expect. If you’re going (and you should) expect this…
1. History. Serious, serious history. And it’s a great place [...]
Our good friend Laurel came for a visit and boy did we have a great time. Tyler and I picked her up from the airport in Frankfurt and she was amazingly full of energy and ready to hit the ground running. We got in the car and headed for Mainz, the first stop [...]
