Fürth, 2018
Friendly reminder that if the Christmas market in Nürnberg is too packed for your taste, right up the U-Bahn is Fürth. Much less crowded, a cool middle-age area, and a bonus small market in the Altstadt on Waagplatz from the 6th to the 15th this year.
Franconia, 2018
The last gasp (we hear) of summer meant that our friendly local Herbstmarkt was even more packed today than it was last year. I didn’t even make it to the garden, as I was distracted by my futile search for Federweisser. The season is short, gotta find some while I can.
Leipzig, 2018
Thanks to a twitter thread that got out of hand last year, we found ourselves in Leipzig for a weekend to meet up with a whole pile of cool folks for an evening. Having never been to the city before, we thoroughly enjoyed our day of wandering beforehand. I was shocked at the amount of green right in the middle of the city, and this Wunschbaum, or wish tree, was an even more colorful sighting.
Oberbayern, 2018
This weekend was a lot more homestead than scenery. But on the plus side, we now have bees. Fun!
South Tyrol, 2018
Two years in a row had BV and I walking a long way uphill to get to the Bonnerhütte on their first open day of the season. Since we’re taking a break from South Tyrol this May, we won’t be getting those sweet sweet dumplings this weekend, but hopefully they’ll still be available whenever we do get there next time.
Nürnberg, 2018
Everyone in town comes out to play basically the second it gets remotely nice. Bring layers and something to sit on.
London, 2018
What are we holding up? Laurels? Umbrellas? Our hoods on our heads in gale-force winds? In March… you never know.
Franconia, 2018
Though Marry did venture onto the balcony briefly today, the pouring rain had her begging to come back in before too long. And the forecast for next week calls for snow… uhoh.
Nürnberg, 2018
Just in case anyone forgot, last year on Valentine’s Day a flower-seller set up shop right in the middle of the main train station in Nürnberg. I mean… who’s got time to run down the stairs to one of the other florists in the station when the mood for romance strikes?
Franconia, 2018
This picture is making me regret my decision to not go out for a walk today. The snow has melted, it was over zero degrees, and the sun actually shone for a bit. But I just couldn’t drag myself out of the house… gotta work on that motivation.
