Today we are in our hotel room. If you don’t move, you can feel not overheated, so that is nice. I went down to get apples from the lobby for breakfast and just went right out the door. It was so much cooler outside, so I just stood across the street, eating my apple. Several […]

Oh no! I skipped to the end with the title. Pretend I didn’t. Before we left, Keith used a roll of toilet paper to make tissues. Three squares folded up and in a ziploc bag. He uses up the box of tissues every day, so he needs to lay in a supply for the day.

Last night had such promise, and yet failed so miserably. Turns out the “air conditioning” in our room was just pretend. We asked this morning at the front desk about our lack of cool. Turns out it is an air circulation system and will cool the room by 1degreeC. Please realize that that is more
Our trek across Switzerland yesterday was just to get to Geneva so we could go to CERN – the European Organization for Nuclear Research. When we were planning this trip, Keith decided we would fly home from Zurich, because we have never been to Switzerland. It was up to me to think up what we
Our hotel shuttled us to the train station at 8:30. I got about 4 hours of very warm sleep last night, and dreamt that I fell asleep on the train and ended up in Portugal. Keith says our train terminates before that (oh, it terminated all right), so I would be fine. Mike and Mary
On one hand we have been gone for 6 months; on the other hand, we have been gone 6 minutes. It doesn’t feel possible that today was the last day of the band tour. Oof! We were somewhere in Germany this morning and we had a great breakfast. That has really been a thing during

We were early on the road this morning, gliding through the German countryside, learning about the different regions from Joachim. He is a font of information. I know we were listening, then we were sleeping. There is a lot of crud going around – Keith woke up coughing and coughing and is just not feeling

We visited the two walled cities of Germany today. First, Dinkelsbühl. Keith and I walked around on our own and admired the old. We went to a church with a fancy skeleton. Someone stole the fancy skeleton’s leg in 2010. Who does that? Mike says it happens and the people put it on display in
Nope, not playing chess. The day started with a trip to Neuschwanstein. WhooHooo! I do not think I am a fan of Neuschwanstein because it looks like a Disney castle. I think I am a fan of Disney castles because of Neuschwanstein. When I was packing, I paged through the dress section of the closet
Today was the big bus ride of the trip. Here is our bus driver, Oskar, and our tour guide, Joachin. Oskar is from Bavaria and was representing today! Joachin is not, but he was game to fit in. We had four hours from Czech woods to the Bavarian forest. The bummer part of that is
