…three days of rain in Prague might be pushing it but nevertheless we have been thoroughly enjoying the sights with and without our umbrellas, hats and coats. Currently we are sitting in a café in the Old Town area of Prague enjoying the thickest hot chocolate I have ever had while warming up from […]
The Dust On Our Shoes
As we are slowly making our way to Prague via a six hour long train ride, I figured I could use some of this time to relay our experiences of yesterday visiting Dachau. I am not sure what my expectations were, having never been to a concentration camp before I only had pictures and history […]
Munich and it’s “Resting” trees
Wilkommen Munchen! It’s our second day in Munich, first day of feeling rested. We toughed it out yesterday to avoid feeling jet lagged for the entirety of our trip and, I must say, we were quite successful and maintained the usual manic level of activity normally reserved for the first and last days of any […]
…and off we go!

What is even more unbelievable is that we have been up since 7 AM, already had one flight, and […]

Siena and wine-tasting
The drive to Siena from Lucca was gorgeous, if there was a picture that would sum up Italy…well, except for like the Colosseum, or Trevi Fountain, or Venice…it would be the rolling hills with fields of grapes and olive trees. We decided to take the least direct path to Siena which lead us to the […]
We love PAM, Lucca's pretty cool too…
The drive out to Lucca was much easier than either of us expected, we left the A11 (Autostrada) fairly early on after we realized that it was not very exciting, and had little to offer in terms of scenery. It’s no American highway, but we wanted a few more curves and more towns! Off we […]
