Seemily Insignificant, yet a major memorial. Learn more: Stolpersteine (English) Photo Friday Entry (#184) | elmada.com Home The Northwest Ladybug had an excellent idea for a photo meme. She wanted to know what other bloggers saw outside their windows as they wrote about their day/life/whatever. She immediately posted a picture of her backyard. Here’s what I see from my balcony and from my kitchen: Buchenwald. It’s a haunting reminder of Germany’s past, […] Saturday was wedding time: the German Bride and American Groom were getting hitched, all whilst “naturally” dressed. It was the fourth wedding of my life, following after SisterOne, me as Wyoming Goomsman, and a lovely wedding in Iowa City. By any measure, I am a newbie when it comes to weddings. The wedding was […] I passed through your Kleine Dorf on Sunday. I hope never to do so again. You see, I was returning home from a fine day: I’d traveled from my home in Weimar up to Drei-Annen-Hohne. Once there, traveling via Erfurt and Nordhausen, I had a splendid day. I caught the Brockenbahn up to the top […] Given that the aformentioned wedding with a “naturally” dressed bride and groom was going to be held at a castle, the nature of the “naturally” dressed bride and groom should, in retrospect, have been obvious.

Photo Friday Entry (#38) | elmada.com Home Last Saturday, my Armenian Host and I took a day trip from his home town of Vanadzor to Gyumri. Our adventure cost us 6,500 Armenia Dram, which is the equivalent of 14,21€/19.27USD. Broken down, we paid 200 Dram to get from his flat to the city center; 1,000 Dram to take the bus from Vanadzor […] So I woke up late this morning—with a hangover. It’s the first real hangover I’ve had in years—the last time I can remember having one around 6 or 7 years ago, and it was after drinking Bass Ale – and it was a repeat offender, so I never drank it again. I’m not sure what […] My last afternoon in Armenia, I headed to the zoo with my host. It was a last minute choice, and something left out of the Lonely Planet guide—and what a shame. The zoo is clearly old school—how I imagine an American zoo looked in the 1950s: too small cages, and plenty of opportunity for human-animal […] |
