A big part of traveling, for me at least, is the food. I've seen some stuff written recently about Michelin starred restaurants in Germany, but that wasn't what this trip was about. No, this time with family was more focused on home-style cooking a la Deutschland. Wandering around Freiburg's Munsterplatz earned us a delicious sausage … Continue reading Feasting my way around Freiburg

Family, familiar, first time
Those are the three words which most sum up my recent trip to Europe. I've been back a week now and finally feel myself getting my mojo back to begin resuming my frenetic intense schedule of boys, jobs, chores and miles. I imagine I'll be writing a series of posts to share some of the … Continue reading Family, familiar, first time

I'm really not a fan of creating a detailed travel plan much preferring to familiarize myself with possible activities but not filling … Continue reading Gute Reise!
Different seasons
According to any standard calendar, we have four seasons. This is such a basic fact, that I won't offend your intelligence by bothering to list them. Suffice it to say that there are 4 and each lasts approximately 3 months. While the calendar neatly divides the year into these quarters based on 2 factors which … Continue reading Different seasons
