We had a special dinner tonight. Scott made Granny’s Egg Noodles and Creamed Chicken for dinner. We enjoy this delicacy at home but it is especially meaningful here is Germany as his Grandmother was of German descent and there may even be relatives nearby! We have limited, yet adequate cooking equipment and a bit of a language barrier, what is flour called? Ashley helped him...

I am in love with Germany. The people are interesting and Bavaria at least, is breathtakingly beautiful. I have come to one conclusion that the people living in Bavaria (and maybe it’s true of all Germans) are crazy tough for one reason in my mind (and there are probably more reasons, a lot of fire wood around here), the Bier trinken und Wandern. I love...

I’ve decided that while in Bavaria, my husband’s definition of hiking does not apply. He says you need to be at least a mile from the parking lot and doing a little bushwhacking in order to really be hiking. It seems that people here are hikers, there are hikers everywhere with hiking sticks, clothes and gear. His definition of hiking here should be modified to,...

It was a good day today. We hiked and ate and played cards and if you actually want to get to the card playing part, you’ll have to read all three of the Pürschling Blogs, it was a long day. We got an early start for the first time on our trip. It’s been afternoon hiking as we adjust to the new time zone, but...

I have some good news to report today, some wrongs were righted and that is always a good thing. I think I may have mentioned that my husband is cooking this year. He’s a great cook when he wants to be because he looks up recipes and he follows them. This is only mildly interesting to me because he makes some really yummy comfort food...

You know that saying about the journey and not the destination? And the joy of unexpected surprises along the path? Our adventure today reminded me of those nuggets of knowledge as well as highlighted some previously learned lessons. The largest jewels in today’s crown of learning are, “be true to thine own travel style” and “the best experience is not always the most thorough experience.” ...

One of the things that I love about traveling is that it turns your brain on. Anyone who has ever traveled anywhere and I am including any destination other than sitting in your own living room knows that travel can be exhausting because of all kinds of reasons but most of all it is the “needing to figure out things” that is the exhausting part....

Do not impede riders in front of you by going too slowly. That is what RULE NUMBER 5 of the Alpine Coaster stated at the top of Kolbensattel near Oberammergau, Germany, as we waited to board our personal alpine coasters. My stomach had started turning over on the way up riding the chairlift. Gazing out at the beautiful views of mountains and valleys, green and...

My husband just went to the grocery store because part of this little life adventure will be him shopping and cooking! This is his idea. Yes, we occasionally discuss (sometimes heatedly) his desire to eat healthy with the result of reducing his mass a tad and my desire to not cook and eat coffee with lots of cream for breakfast (yes, eat), out for one...
