The Dark and the Light Side of Nuremberg, Germany

The Dark and the Light Side of Nuremberg, Germany

Most of us know the name Nuremberg, because of the trials held after World War II.

We explored the dark and Nazi side of Nuremberg but, thankfully, discovered ourselves charmed by her light side first.

To understand why the city was so significant in recent, we had to travel back centuries earlier to learn about Nuremberg's place as one of the Holy Roman Empire's most important cities... CONTINUE READING >>

Lübeck, Germany After Dark... and why the heck would you live alone?

Lubeck, Germany After Dark

Visiting Lübeck, Germany was one of those lucky coincidences that sometimes happen when traveling.

We chose it as a stopover on our Eurail Pass expedition across northern Europe mostly for its location.

But inside the famous Holsten Gate we discovered a wonderful, history-filled city that lights up when night falls... CONTINUE READING >>

Single & Over 50? Why the Heck Would You Live Alone? I'd be too...

I'm not gonna lie and pretend that I haven't thought about what I would do if David kicked the bucket - we participate in way too many crazy, fear-conquering shenanigans so, yes, the notion has passed through my head.

I know I wouldn't want to live alone if I were to become suddenly single.

I'd be lonely, wouldn't be able to afford to travel as I'd want need to, and I'd certainly not want to do a reverse boomerang and move in with... CONTINUE READING >>

Why We Love a Good Christmas Market

We love Christmas markets! 

The festivities, the food, the comraderie, the glühwein - put it all together and we've got ourselves a great way to ring in the season!

But really -- you ask -- how different can they be? Surely one Christmas market is the same as the next? 

Our reply? Not by a loooooooong shot! ... CONTINUE READING >>

Amsterdam to the Top of the World by Train

Are we crazy? It's possible we've finally gone off the rails.

When Eurail contacted us to see if we'd like to take advantage of a 15-day rail pass, David the Train Nut's pupils got wide and his answer was a resounding YES!

Veronica was all aboard too, and started dreaming of a wintertime jaunt to sunny Spain. David, however, had other plans. He suggested Scandinavia.

Veronica was not so onboard with this. Right. Let's head north into the cold and dark. Why, pray tell? Then David said two words: Northern Lights.

That did it. Join us LIVE as we embark on a wintry expedition above the Arctic Circle... CONTINUE READING >>

Check Out Where We Stayed in Amsterdam (Hint: It's a Houseboat!)

One of many interesting aspects of Amsterdam that we noticed upon arriving were the colorful houseboats lining the canals - there are about 2,400 of these semi-seafaring gems docked along the walls of the city.

We were overjoyed to have the opportunity to stay on one of them during...CONTINUE READING >>

What is middle aged? I suppose we are implying the middle of our lifespan. So let's say eighty years. That makes forty, give or take a few years, middle aged. Ninety is certainly a possibility, so, forty-five. Some of us might even live to be 100, so I can even go as high as fifty.

After that it gets a little curious. Fifty-five? Well, people have lived to 110, so let's call the late fifties the absolute top side of middle age.

 If someone sixty-plus is going around claiming to be middle aged, basically they are declaring... CONTINUE READING >>

The Best and the Würst of Passau, Germany

The German city of Passau had plenty of interesting attributes to explore, but it shall be forever etched in David’s memory as The Home of The Half-Meter Würst. In his mind, the best würst ever!

But before we dig too deep into his obsession with this supreme sausage, let’s take a look at the city from whence it came... CONTINUE READING >>
