Today is a huge, exciting day in our household: it’s the first day of school! Evelina is starting her last year of elementary school at Mount Pleasant and Boris is starting high school at Scona. Where does the time go? After a pretty smooth morning and a typical yeg commute, they were dropped off. I […]
According to some sources, including the restaurant itself of course, the Siftskeller has been serving food since 803, making it the oldest restaurant in Europe. Not 1803 – that’s not a typo. Eight-oh-three. Although we can’t personally verify this data, we can certainly attest to the quality of food and service. We started with a […]

At 700 meters (altitude) the weather can be unpredictable. As we took a turn on the way home from Salzburg, we were greeted with our first snow sighting of the season. This was minutes after we crossed back into Germany. Pretty, but no thank you!!

I cannot tell you all how excited we are to be seeing our good friends Henrik et al next week. We haven’t seen them in … well …. about a year I guess but we have so many years to make up for at this point! All I have to tell you is get ready […]
I think there is a strike at IKEA today. No furniture for you!!
Today marked another milestone: first day of school in Germany! You may or may not be surprised to hear that both children were EXTREMELY excited for this new adventure. They spent the weekend organizing supplies. Boris even went as far as to claim he was “sick and tired of relaxing”. After school, the two of […]
