When I listen to it, […]
My final long-distance guest of the Spring 2011 Guest Season has left the house.
It’s been quite a whirlwind few months and I am looking forward to the next month of relative quietness—I do have a guest spending one or two nights in mid-May, but she’s from Weimar and knows Berlin better than I do.

So my weekend adventure is in Salzburg, Austria.
The city is most famous for The Sound of Music and all that entails.
Well, not actually, but it is probably the reason that most Americans who visit Salzburg visit Salzburg. The rest of the Americans who visit Salzburg are probably here because of the stunningly beautiful […]
Happily, for me, another workweek is closed.
Yes, I know, it’s only Thursday, but I have a guest in town for the next two weeks and tomorrow morning we are going out of Berlin for a long weekend. I’d tell you where, but that might ruin some of the surprise—suffice to say, we’re flying Air […]
