We like to travel.
This is post #6 of our Dublin-Berlin trip, Sunday, September 16, 2018. Okay. In case I was wondering, I am in Germany. Bright and not-so-early, we decided to tackle Berlin for our first day. The citrus design is from the carpet in our hotel hallways, and the rest of the sights are near our hotel… Continue reading Berlin Marathon, for both the runners and us
This is post #5 of our Dublin-Berlin trip in September 2018. I have a reminder that I am in a different country, whenever I pull up my phone and there is a different language on my screen. I woke up this morning thinking Happy News! That's the last time I'll ever have to sleep in… Continue reading Goodbye Dublin, Hello Berlin
This is post #4 of our Dublin-Berlin trip, Friday, September 14, 2018. The title comes from a moment late in the day, when exhausted, weary, and tired of sight-seeing, we decide to bust loose from our agenda and just do what we want, see what we want. It's often this push-and-pull for me: See All… Continue reading Dublin: Messing Around in the City of Your Choice
This is post #3 of our Dublin-Berlin trip in September 2018, a happy-go-lucky Friday afternoon, September 14. Click on any image to enlarge. Merrion Square, in Dublin Ireland is surrounded by stately homes. And Yeats lived here for a while. I do love these lines from Yeats' poem "The Second Coming," which I can almost… Continue reading Doors from Merrion Square, Dublin
This is post #2 of our Dublin-Berlin trip in September 2018 Thursday, September 13, 2019 Dave had sourced out lots of places to eat in Dublin before coming. So that first morning we walked along Fleet Street to find breakfast at the Queen of Tarts. Along the way, we photographed the famous Temple Bar. I guess… Continue reading Book of Kells, Christ Church and more meandering
This is post #1 of our Dublin-Berlin trip in September 2018. Wednesday, September 12, 2018 We left Los Angeles Tuesday evening, on Aer Lingus, an untested airline. Now having flown them internationally and locally, go for international. They make you pay for water locally (pet peeve of mine). This was taken Wednesday, before we arrived… Continue reading Meeting Dublin
This is post #2 of our 2017 Geneva, Switzerland-France trip, September 2017. The town of Annecy was a short drive from our hotel in Talloires, so after lunch on Sunday, we drove over there. These mountain are known as the "teeth" mountains--the Dents de Lanfon--we see them just as we drive out of the little… Continue reading Annecy
This is post #1 of our 2017 Geneva, Switzerland-France trip, September 2017. We arrived Sunday morning in Geneva, Switzerland, and immediately picked up our rental car and drove southeast towards Talloires. After driving on the A-1, we left that highway and started going through some mountain towns, lush with greenery and swaths of mist floating… Continue reading Talloires
This is post #8 of our 2016 Copenhagen-Stockholm trip: Tuesday, August 16, 2016. After an afternoon rest, we decided to use Uber to get to the Little Mermaid, as it was not near any Metro, nor bus lines that we could decipher (I hadn't yet found that Metro map). When we talked with Shergo, our… Continue reading Little Mermaid and Walking Around Christianshavn
This is post #7 of our 2016 Copenhagen-Stockholm 2016 trip. Tuesday morning I had my passport, my receipts from the Marimekko store (for my VAT refund) and the idea that I would find chocolate at the Magasin store, and so I descended into the Metro station, determined to figure this out. I was in the… Continue reading My Attempt to Find Chocolate and Brave the Transit System
