The Greener Grass

It appears that the first real snow has melted  faster than anticipated.  Essentially the next morning there was no trace of it.  This however, spurs the people to get into full winter mode and put winter tires on. For now we are back to green grass and mild temperatures of 6 to 9C so quite […]

Take Two

It appears that Tuesday is a better day to start off the week, so we are out once again trying to have a closer look at the market.  Still too many people there, this is absolutely crazy.  With about 40,000 people per day visiting this place I think this place is going to stay a bit […]

Depeche Mode!

As always they are absolutely brilliant.  Almost two hours with encore!  There was an interesting take on But Not Tonight which Martin sang just with a piano.  I think we should go and see this show again, anyone interested in joining us?  Prague comes to mind in February.  I will drive.  We wish you could […]

Moss

Fall is here.  It’s wet.  There are some trees with are still quite green, and some that seem like they are on fire.  The ones that have no leaves are green with all the moss that’s growing on them.  It’s quite beautiful and colourful.

Something Modern

We have walked past this street about one hundred times, literally.  It’s on the way to the Lego among other things.  Not only did we find these very modern looking buildings right within the castle walls but we also found one of the best Sushi restaurants in the city called Sushi Glas.  In Alberta there […]

Treats

I don’t think you can walk more than 50 m through the Copenhagen train station without running into a 10m x 15 m advertisement for one of these.  At first we ignored it and remain strong and sceptical.  I mean who drinks Baileys these days anymore?  Finally we gave in and got a bottle they […]

St. Lorenz

Here is another look at the church of St. Lorenz.  This medieval church of the former free imperial city of Nuremberg is dedicated to Saint Lawrence. The church was badly damaged during the Second World War and later rebuilt. It is one of the most prominent churches of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Bavaria. The choir was started in 1445 by medieval […]

The Concert

When London Grammar came out onto the stage our first reaction was, but they are just kids!  They are so young.  Indeed they are young,  but they sound not only mature and unique but also simply amazing.  Small venue packed to capacity, no one getting drunk, no one smoking and no one pushing or shoving […]

Traffic

We are stuck in traffic going nowhere fast. We had a pretty good run the first two hours, despite the massive non- stop pouring rain. We are 712 km from home and stationary. In 15 minutes we moved about 600 m. According to the traffic report on the car GPS we have 5 more kilometers […]

Going North

We are setting off  for a week of holidays.  The children are getting their first fall school break, which is well deserved and earned as they have been working very hard both in school and with Saskia their private tutor.  We are going to be heading up to Denmark and Sweden driving mostly through Germany. […]

Chariot

This then is a perfect family chariot!  It’s beautiful, its spacious, and its not coming to Canada any time soon if ever.  We see these  on the Autobahn every once in a while, never for more than a split second as they fly by, gliding  effortlessly, with a mighty roar.  Available in Germany in, wait […]
