After our 4+ hour tour the day before, we were all ready for a day that was a bit less structured. After having a light breakfast at the apartment and some clothes shopping on Wenceslas Square, a wide pedestrian street with many stores and restaurants (reminding me of Calle Corrida, the street we lived onContinue reading “Prague Blog Part 3”

Prague Blog Part 2
Refreshed with 12 hours of sleep, we were ready to enjoy our first full day in Prague with our friends. After breakfast at the apartment with los dos Dianas we were off to meet up with our local tour guide. Phil and I have learned from our travels that we tend to enjoy group toursContinue reading “Prague Blog Part 2”
Prague Blog Part 1
Prague is a city, like Bruges in Belgium, that I have really wanted to visit for a long time, but things just haven’t lined up to get us there (I will get to Bruges one day, by God!). When Phil and I left Spain (check out the archives to read all about our 500 dayContinue reading “Prague Blog Part 1”
Iceland and the Final Days of Our Grand Adventure, Part 2
Welp. Here we are. The end of this particular story. It has only taken me a little over six months to finish writing about it. Telling the last of the story means the story is over and damn, it was such a good story. There are many more stories to come, I have no doubt.Continue reading “Iceland and the Final Days of Our Grand Adventure, Part 2”
Iceland and the Final Days of Our Grand Adventure: Part 1
After a four hour flight from Munich, we arrived in Iceland. Iceland was the icing on the cake of our travels (see what I did there?) When discussing when and where we would fly home from, we discovered that flight prices dramatically drop from August to September and that if we took Icelandic Air, weContinue reading “Iceland and the Final Days of Our Grand Adventure: Part 1”
Burghausen Castle
Jess, you’ve been back in the states for months now, why has it taken you so long to finish up your European adventure posts (you may be asking)? Well, it’s the darnedest thing. After having been able to live in another world with just myself and my favorite person, far away from the normal stressorsContinue reading “Burghausen Castle”
Regensburg Part 2: Walhalla
On our last day in Regensburg we decided to take the hour bus ride to Walhalla. A replica of the ancient Greek Parthanon (we saw the original a few months earlier in Athens…and another replica in Nashville some years back). Set upon the banks of the Danube, Walhalla serves as a hall of fame forContinue reading “Regensburg Part 2: Walhalla”
Adventures in Germany: Regensburg
After a jam packed day in Munich, we were off to Regensburg. Oh, the fabled Regensburg. Just a few months prior, we had never heard of Regensburg. While traveling through Italy with my mother-in-law, Marie, back in May, she struck up a conversation with a German fellow during a cable car ride in Rapallo. SheContinue reading “Adventures in Germany: Regensburg”
Return to Germany: Munich
During our time in Spain and throughout our subsequent travels, people usually thought I was German. I’m pale, I’m tall, I’m a big-boned gal who likes to drink beer, so, I get it. Upon our return to Germany (after we visited friends near Frankfurt in August), Phil kept jokingly telling me we were finally inContinue reading “Return to Germany: Munich”
Bulgaria’s Love of Coffee Vending Machines. Who knew?
When we first arrived in Bulgaria, I began to notice coffee vending machines. I didn’t think too much of it initially as we have seen similar machines occasionally during our travels, typically in a train or bus station. As we traveled around, however, I began to see more and more coffee vending machines; sometimes rightContinue reading “Bulgaria’s Love of Coffee Vending Machines. Who knew?”
