We like to travel.
We arrived in Halifax tonight at 8:30 p.m., which is 4:30 p.m. our time, which is exactly 11 hours and 45 minutes after we woke up with a start in Riverside and realized that the alarm didn't go off and wow, we'd better really hustle and in spite of the Giant Rush out the door… Continue reading Nova Scotia Sunset
After watching this winter's Olympics, don't we all have that song engraved in our memory? We're off on another trip this week--this time to Canada. First stop is Nova Scotia, then Prince Edward Island, then back to travel Nova Scotia and the Cabot Trail before spending a couple of days in Halifax and then on… Continue reading Oh, Canada!

Look closely at this decorated May Pole, and instead of townspeople, merchants and animals, you see doctors, nurses and hospital beds. This is in the courtyard of the Klinikum, where we all met for our outing to Starnberger See, a lake near Munich. We bunched up into groups of 6, received a Metro ticket from… Continue reading Wednesday–Munich’s Starnberger See

We connected from LAX through Heathrow to Munich. Uneventful, except that I was smarter this time and packed us a lunch to eat instead of relying on their (icky) food. Travel Story: The couple in front of us, older than us by about twenty years we figure, seemed mighty uncomfortable on the plane. She got… Continue reading Strolling Around Munich
Let's talk food: Munich, specifically. Given the readership of this blog, that shouldn't be too hard, as you all like food and partake in it daily. We come downstairs the first day and this sign, hanging over the fresh breads section, is an invitation. We accept, and proceed to our nice day, by starting here.… Continue reading Menu from Munich
We begin the day in the area near our hotel, strolling along Printzregentstrasse. This photo was taken near the UBahn stop, near the Printzregentheater. (I love how they string all their words together--reminds me of some of my English students. I used to think they needed correcting; now I know they're merely part German.) We… Continue reading Remembrance of Things Past
The Residenz was the Royal Family's residence, the place where they hung out for hundreds of years until the Allies (that was us--sad faces, please) bombed it to smithereens in a few hours one day, in order to Do What We Had To Do. The German pamphlets are very nice about this fact, and never… Continue reading The Residenz
The Theatine Church, or Theatinerkirche St. Kajetan, is a glowing yellow church with black accents just across from The Residenz. Royal Ferdinand built it in 1662 as an honor and thanks because his wife produced an heir to the Bavarian Crown. Most men would have just brought a bouquet of flowers and her favorite chocolates,… Continue reading Theatine Church (Theatinerkirche)
