Estonia was one of my favorite countries we visited in Europe, and our day spent deep in the forests was a real highlight of our time there. Some incredible students from the Estonian Academy of Arts have built giant megaphone-like structures to amplify the natural sounds of the […]
One of the things we did in Europe, and we are continuing to do as the journey continues, is keep tabs on how we use various types of transportation. I have no idea why we are doing this, it just seems interesting. In Europe, we counted every single […]
Well folks, the first leg of this trip is drawing to a close. Tomorrow, on America’s birthday, we fly back to our home and we get to see Lincoln, Penny, and all of you!
Our last full day in Europe finally arrived…I’m glad we finished it up in Barcelona…we are ending on an exotic and chaotic note. The day started slow, as all days in Spain seem to start. John read on the balcony, I read on the couch…we are so over […]
Today we visited a site that I have been excited about since we put Barcelona on the itinerary: the Basilica de la Sagrada Família. Of all the amazing churches we have visited on this trip, we saved the best for last. Sagrada Família is considered to be Gaudí’s […]
The countdown to Nashville has officially begun…but we had 1 more country to cross off the list before we head home: Barcelona here we come! We had a late flight out of Zurich, so we had a whole day to kill. It was absolutely pissing it down, so […]
For the last couple of days we have been pre-occupied with day trips into the Swiss countryside, but we thought it was finally time to explore Zurich. Zurich is extremely pretty, extremely expensive and extremely…extreme in it’s offerings. They also like flags. As we’ve mentioned before, our flat […]
They didn’t really, but this post features cheese and aliens prominently, so that seemed like the only reasonable way to unite those two subjects together. Hello Gang. I know Bex posted about this yesterday, but I can’t get over how expensive Switzerland is. It’s seems recursively expensive…even if […]
We arrived in Zurich after 5.5 hours on a train, 1.5 of which were not in the planned itinerary. It was never really clear what caused the delay, all we knew is that it was delayed mid journey…rumors were flying! There was a rather ornery German man who […]
After a couple of full days in Munich, we took a break and lounged around the apartment. We did manage to get out and do some laundry, the laundromat being conveniently located across the street from a nice pub. With a full day of rest behind us, we […]
Hey you guys! How the hell are ya? Greetings from old München. WARNING: This issue contains significant car porn. I’d call it softcore (bodies), not hardcore (engines, transmissions), so press on if you wanna see some sexy, sexy beasts, photographed beautifully. Apparently and unwittingly, I am traveling with […]
Münich is the home of Oktoberfest and many, many beer halls…but I promise that we did more than drink beer today. Promise! Germany was not on our original itinerary…but it slipped in due to the exorbitant costs of Switzerland, which we have now limited to a trip to […]
