I spent last weekend in Oslo – my first time in Norway – driven to visit by an article I read in The Guardian at the end of March: “Norway’s Kon-Tiki museum to return thousands of Easter Island artefacts.” Given that it is easier for me to visit Oslo than Chile, I decided I needed […] I’m fresh back from a trip to Saskatchewan – my ninth Canadian province – meaning that I have one to go, plus the three territories. My explicit goal is the complete the provinces, but I am not sure I will attempt the territories: while the Yukon and Northwest Territories are easy, Nunavut is shockingly expensive […] My big trip in August was to Colorado – off to see the family and a plethora of friends. All-in-all, my time in Denver was time well spent. There wasn’t a single disappointing meet-up or other time wasted. I ended up going to a total of five museums, four meals out with friends, and […] Last weekend I made a quick — four night — trip to Washington, D.C. The goal was to attend the 2017 Equality March. Adam in front of the White House during the 2017 Equality March. Although I’ve become quiet politically, I still have strong opinions about being liberal. With the election of Donald […] A random piece of art at Domäne Dahlem. Chickens at Domäne Dahlem. Wheat at Domäne Dahlem. If I were a plant person, I could tell you what this is. Domäne Dahlem is a farming museum for families in Berlin – a nice place for a wander on the […] The Canadian Museum for Human Rights, as seen from the main entrance for those not in groups and those who are not physically challenged. When I started setting up my around the world trip, exactly how I was going to get from New Zealand back to Europe was a bit unclear. After doing some […] Entering CupNoodles Museum I spent Thursday taking a walk around Yokohama. Before today, as far as I was concerned, Yokohama might as well be Tokyo – but it’s not, in the way that Hartford is not New York City. It does have a very nice old port and, armed with a map, I headed […] I’ve been a bad blogger. Sorry. But now a few words about Anchorage, Alaska’s largest city, and where I started my adventures in my fiftieth State. I had two stays in the city – three nights, then my trip to Barrow, followed by another two nights in Anchorage. Anchorage as seen from my 22nd […] As I noted two weeks ago, Berlin’s public transportation network includes ferries – and in my first three years of living here, I never had occasion to take one. But then, once I learned that F24 is a rowboat, I decided to ride. And some how, since I rode two ferry routes that back on […] Last year was the 100th birthday of Alan Turing—the brilliant, gay, scientist who helped break the Enigma machine, and then (probably) committed suicide in 1954. During the Centenary Celebration, I became aware of Bletchley Park, a museum at the wartime site of British code breaking. I filed away this knowledge for a future trip to […] |
