So that the site is free for us, there are ads. We don’t benefit from them, neither will you. A rocky start, to our next fugue. Our original plan was to replicate our European fugue either in South America or Europe again, so much to still see https://thechosenfugue.blogspot.com/2020/06/we-will-always-have-frankfurt.html . We still rented out our house with theContinue reading “Driving to the End of the Rainbow”

We will always have Frankfurt
So that the site is free for us, there are ads. We don’t benefit from them, neither will you. This was also a pre-WordPress update, sorry for how bad it looks. While we usually post soon after we visit, circumstances this year got in the way. Revisiting our last stop on this fugue before startingContinue reading “We will always have Frankfurt”
Cologne not alone for Christmas
While we usually post soon after we visit, circumstances this year got in the way. This post is exceptionally fun as we get to experience Christmas in June. Advent marks the official beginning of Christmas Market season in Germany. We went to our first Christmas Markets about 10 years ago on a trip to ViennaContinue reading “Cologne not alone for Christmas”
The Left-Overs
NOTE: THIS WAS ORIGINALLY IN A DIFFERENT PLATFORM AND WHEN IT IMPORTED IT MADE IT LOOK AWFUL. SORRY.So that the site is free for us, there are ads. We don’t benefit from them, neither will you. We got out of our rhythm of recapping our travels, but we will try to retrace our steps. WhatContinue reading “The Left-Overs”
Living Lodge
After an exhausting year of traveling, we needed some R&R, a couple of months of relaxation before we hit the road again in Mid-November. So we checked into a rest home. We have spent the last month convalescing with our soon to be 90 year old mother/mother- in-law at her luxurious retirement lodge. Our dayContinue reading “Living Lodge”
Munich
It is hard not to sound repetitive. Every place (okay, maybe not Ayia Napa, Cyprus) has us saying, this feels better than home. Pretty much everywhere has felt safer, more livable than the US (gun control, please, please, please). The challenge of each place while unique, is usually the history, and unfortunately even that sounds repetitive. Continue reading “Munich”
Black Forest
(this post was in the older format, sorry it looks really bad!) Back to our home away from home, Saarbrucken, to spend a week with A, W, I and Finn and then a week dog-sitting Finn while they went off to a conference in Greece. After a grueling week of dog-sitting, we needed toContinue reading “Black Forest”
The Budapest Marathon
Last minute stop in Budapest as we traveled from Romania back to Germany.Typically, we are able to speed see all a city’s sites in a day or so as they are often within blocks of the town square where we try to stay. Considering we don’t shop and rarely restaurant, this is not usually aContinue reading “The Budapest Marathon”
Timisoara, the Revolution will not be televised
Out of Transylvania on to our last stop Timisoara in the Banat, another area in Romania ( like most of European History) with a succession of rulers and mix of cultures this time with a bit more Hungarian and Serbian tossed in. What drew us to Timisoara was that this was where the 1989Continue reading “Timisoara, the Revolution will not be televised”
A Taste of Three Transylvania Towns
It’s understandable that vampires have chosen to spend their eternal lives in Transylvania, as it is one of the most beautiful areas (countryside and cities) we have visited. While our visit to Transylvania was short-lived it definitely got in our blood. Our first stop, Brasov, had it’s own “Hollywood sign”, and deservedly so, as itContinue reading “A Taste of Three Transylvania Towns”
