Berlin sights: part 2

Apr 6, 2009

Once we left the Berliner Dom, the weather got progressively worse until we found ourselves at dinner soaking wet from running through the streets of Berlin in a downpour for 15 minutes to get back to the parking garage and the car. Before the rain, we made it into...

Berlin sights: part 1

Apr 5, 2009

During our 2o hours in Berlin, we managed to pack in quite a lot of sightseeing. It helped that we only spent about 4 hours of that sleeping. :) The Brandenburg Gate is magnificent in person. You used to be able to drive through the slots, but the ground underneath...

Park Sanssouci

Mar 30, 2009

Our first afternoon in Germany was spent in Potsdam walking through Park Sanssouci. The sun came out for a brief few hours, so we'll use this as visual evidence that the sun does shine in Germany in March. :) statues at The New Palace terraced gardens at Palace...

learning about children’s authors

Mar 17, 2009

When I was a child, The Very Hungry Caterpillar was one of my favorite children's books, along with the popular Goodnight Moon and perhaps less well-known The Story About Ping. Throughout the years I have picked up bits of biographical knowledge about certain...

Eric and Leandra in Orient Point, NY :)

We’ve steadily increased our travel over the last several years and that is the focus of our blog currently, but you can read older ‘daily life‘ and ‘canine‘ posts by clicking on those links.
