We are in Cabo San Lucas. This is our first time here. We chose Cabo because they do not have a problem with gangs or drug lords and they are keeping their Covid cases low. We flew here on Southwest but at the airport I see planes from every major airline. We rented a car and drove to Cabo. We took the toll road and there was very little traffic. We rented an Airbnb one block from the beach, it is Read on...
Am gestrigen Sonntag war das Wetter sehr schn, ich hatte sonst nichts zu tun und daher besuchte ich den Mnchner Westpark. Dort war 1983 die Internationale IGA, die ich damals als Kind mit meinen Eltern besichtigte. Das ist natrlich schon lange her.
Ich wohne ja nun schon seit fast 8 Jahren in Mnchen und damit fast so lange, wie in Frankfurt/M. In dieser Zeit hatte ich 3 Jahre Projekte auerhalb, Read on...

We are back in Paris for the last leg of our trip. We rented a one bedroom Airbnb apartment in the Opera district. We are on the fourth floor but we can still hear and feel the underground metro. On the upside we are half block from the metro station and we have earplugs to block the noise.We have been to Paris multiple times this trip and years ago so we decide to do something different and that Read on...
Whats new with all of you? Hope everything is going along the way you want it to. Summer has faded and we are well into the Autumn season..well, some of you are anyway. Here at Tropical Palms, it seems like we are still at the height of the summer season. The weather is HOT, HOT and HOTTER. Cory tries working outside getting our RV all set up. The brief moments that I go out, I start to sweat. Nic Read on...
We left for Ronda late in the morning, intending to stop at Zahara de la Sierra for a while first. At about 11:30am, we saw Zahara, across a large lake, clinging to a hillside. Spanish towns are quite often built on hillsides, but this one on a hill and with a large lake at the bottom. We pulled over on the other side of the bridge to take some photos, then again just after we reached the foot of Read on...
Seasick. Yes, that is what ran through my mind as I woke up feeling slightly under the weather and sluggish in my cabin. Seasickness could truly be the only reason. After hitting the snooze alarm a few times, I rallied and met Dave and Merry Jo for coffee, although I wasnt up to facing breakfast quite yet. We lingered at the table as we sailed along the river. Today was a day with no excursions Read on...
The day dawned clear in Abingdon, but the mountains to the East looked dark and stormy. I wanted to get ahead of the weather so I was moving early. The two bikers I met last night, with their smooth tires and light suits, still hadnt stirred. Damascus was not far, a small and very cute town, right up against Mount Rogers. The mountain remained shrouded in fog the whole time I was there. I eventual Read on...
I read an interesting article this morning about tourist trap restaurants. I think we have all had some experience with such a place. Anytime the chef is more famous than his food, I begin to worry and will not eat there. Places like Wolfgang Puck, Moritmoto, Bobby Flay, Paul Prudhomme, Alain Ducasse. I prefer the places, the authentic recipes. old fashioned style cooking. So, what should the war Read on...
