Wiesbaden Fail

Wiesbaden Fail

Many years ago my husband and I watched the British Open.  David Duvall was struggling.   The TV commentator had an Australian accent and he was obviously running out of things to say to the world as the wheels fell off this professional golfer’s game.  After each attempt the commentator would say something more or less positive but around the fifth attempt he said something that...

Lake Bled, Slovenia…Have you heard of it?

Lake Bled, Slovenia…Have you heard of it?

We are having a great time on our adventure.  Yes, there has been some stress and learning and even some tears but so far, this adventure is what we had been hoping for.  We wanted to experience more of the world and more of each other and we wanted to be able to plan a little and then be in the moment and see what...

Let’s go to Venice!
in Adventuriety

Let’s go to Venice!

We’re all learning on this adventure, every day.  Scott learned that Venice is actually in Italy and not in France.  He was showing Grant on Google Maps where we were living in Germany and he happened to notice Venice.  He asked me if I knew where Venice was and I said, “Duh, it’s in Italy.” I didn’t really say that, but I did know it...

Goodbye Oberammergau

Goodbye Oberammergau

We are leaving Oberammergau this morning and we are sad to say goodbye.  It has been a magical three weeks and we couldn’t imagine a better place to have begun our journey this year.   Looking back through the pictures, I can’t believe that we have done so much in such a short time.  We have hiked, alpine coastered,  swam and played cards.  We have...

The Importance of Miscommunication , Castles, and Baskets

The Importance of Miscommunication , Castles, and Baskets

Miscommunication can be blissful.  I had profound realization of this nugget of wisdom on our hike today plus learned a few other good little tidbits.  We had a great thirty-six hour mini road trip this weekend.  It was fun and we saw some new sights and currency, learned a few things and ate a lot of non-husband approved food.  We are getting closer to daily...

A Rainbow in Switzerland
in Inspirietry

A Rainbow in Switzerland

I saw another rainbow today.  It was just as beautiful and just as mysterious as the one that I’d seen in Oberammergau last week, but this one, I found it in an “Antiquitäten & Raritäten” shop in Rorschach, Switzerland. We started out yesterday in Oberammergau with the decision to drive to Lichtenstein for lunch.  I don’t really know why, I had mentioned Lichtenstein to Scott...

Switzerland for Supper

Switzerland for Supper

Our phones are not really working.  Scott has an expensive international plan so we can be contacted in an emergency and I put a European SIM chip in my phone when we got here and it works intermittently.  So, we had no way of researching what to do in Vaduz because we only planned lunch.  Not ready for our adventure to end, we used the...

Lichtenstein for Lunch

Lichtenstein for Lunch

Today was a good day.  It started in Germany with a chocolate croissant, and ended toasting with some very nice people at a sailing club in Switzerland while the kids swam in the rain. Have I mentioned that we are not really planners?  We woke up early this morning, Sunday morning, and our first full day off since we started home school.  By the time...

Granny’s Egg Noodles Recipe

Granny’s Egg Noodles Recipe

The following was written by Scott, my husband, in response to an Adventuriety follower’s comment.  Scott is chief cook and bottle washer on our year of adventure and my heart smiled yesterday when he told me Ashley had requested privately that he continue cooking until she leaves for college.     Granny’s Egg Noodles. This recipe was prepared in the family long before my paternal grandmother, but...

Zugspitze

Zugspitze

We love Oberammergau.  It is a beautiful little village near fabulous hiking trails.  The weather is nice, especially for us rain-starved Californians.  It usually rains here at least a few times a week, complete with lightning and thunder, another treat since we don’t get much of nature’s lightshow in our hometown.  We love all of the weather and the sunshine too.  When it’s not raining...
