September 16 – 28 We left the farm and having seen all that liquid pumping through the collection mechanism, realized that we all needed a bit of our own wet refreshment to carry us through the afternoon. This led to a stop at Beachwood, the kind of casual bar you can often find close to […]
September 16 – 28 As mentioned in the last post, a few weeks after our return from Europe I had a total right knee replacement. The surgery went well as did my recovery, which is long and somewhat arduous as one must be diligent about protecting the limb while it is healing as well as […]
June 2 – 28 For this trip, transportation expense was more than for a typical road trip as we purchased those Eurail passes, which were still an incredible bargain in terms of the number of individual trips and the distance we traveled. If we were to have purchased single tickets for each of our legs, […]
June 2 – 28 As we wrap up this trip, we’ll examine how it differed from some in the past in that although we were cost conscious, we weren’t obsessive about it and has been a more recent pattern for us, did not include any camping. This naturally makes the total expense higher as indoor […]
June 25 – 27 The next morning, given the long lead time between waking up and eventually getting food on the plane, we opted to enjoy the hotel breakfast at 12-Euros apiece and were very glad to have done so as it came a close second to the one we had experienced at the Meininger […]

From the first-floor ground […]
June 25 – 27 After finishing up our welcome drinks at the Premier, we made our way up the street to Karlsplatz, which is the gateway on Neuhauser Strasse to Munich’s pedestrian only historic center and its highpoint, the Marienplatz. Our destination was a familiar one, unique in that of all of the towns we […]
June 25 – 27 Given that our train trip to Munich this day would take less than two hours, we opted for a late morning departure that would get us into town around 2:30, just before check-in at Premier Inn Munich City Zentrum Hotel, our hotel for the duration. We left the Pensione with an […]
June 23 – 24 We set out the next day to see as much as we could within walking distance of the pensione, easy to do given our central location. First up though was to head a block towards the train station to stop in at the MPREIS on the corner. An Austrian food retail […]
