A month ago, I was on vacation in The Gaspésie, a piece of Quebec. It was a relatively short vacation – essentially 10 days away from Berlin, including travel time. I flew to Montreal, rented a car, and then drove around The Gaspésie, the peninsula that forms the area south of the Saint Laurence […] We stopped in Mid Yell for the obvious photo. Traveling south from Unst to the “mainland” (the Shetland Island’s largest island), one crosses Yell, and past “Mid-Yell” – a shameless photo-opt ensued. This was one of the narrower roads that we drove on — not the narrowest. Every so often there were passing […] I have a lot of photos that I haven’t gotten around to uploading as promptly as I should have. Today I managed to upload a few and I thought I would share three of my favorite shots out of the bunch. You can, of course, see all of my photos on my Flickr stream.
In case you hadn’t noticed, I kind of took the weekend off from blogging. That’s not to say I didn’t take the weekend off—at least not the entire weekend. Friday I got to be present at one of America’s traditional rights of passage: a sixteen year old getting his drivers license. It was, oddly, anti-climatic. […] As it was dark when we arrived, CQ and I had no idea what the area looked like until we woke up in the morning. For me, that first glimpse came at 06:30 or so when I emerged from the hut and looked around. We’d walked across a grassy field after dinner and I had […] It’s been a great weekend. Yesterday I took the long walk that I’d been thinking about—from Weimar to Hopfgarten, a small village west of Weimar. I timed it perfectly. Minutes after I walked back into my flat the rain started. I then made bread and homemade pizza. The pizza dough used a recipe that my […] Today is Independence Day in Armenia! I’m going off to the parade, which is at 10 in Republic Square. It should be massive fun. After that I am not sure what my plans are, probably to visit museums in the city center. Yesterday I mailed 30 postcards (9,000 dram) to points in Europe and North […] Today was this year’s Wandertag. Wandertag is a school and corporate tradition in Germany where armies of coworkers are encouraged to go out and have fun on a hike! This year’s Wandertag was a trip to Saalfeld, a city located in southern Thüringia. After our early start and early arrival, a local guide took […] I took a walk today, going from Weimar to Hopfgarten, a village that is about 5km west of Weimar along the train tracks. I also took a few photos, but have been too lazy to download the pictures to my computer, so you’ll have to wait. Hope you had a great Sunday! PS- Hopfgarten was […] Today was Wandertag – or, as we would term such an event in English, Hiking Day. I could insert a joke that plays on German stereotypes, but I won’t. Suffice to say that my mere suggestion of it will cause some of you to figure it out. However, if you do, or don’t, please remember […] |
