Who let the dogs out?

The French love their dogs in all shapes and sizes and take them everywhere.  They’re even welcome in resturants.  It’s a well known hazard when walking the streets of Paris that you have to watch your step or you end up with standing in something very unpleasant.  Eli found out the hard way! We’ve seen more than a few amusing sights of dogs and their … Continue reading Who let the dogs out?

Expectations vs Reality

You know that feeling when you expect something to be better than it is? Or maybe the other way around, when you expect something to be worse than it is?

We went chasing waterfalls

The Krimmel Waterfalls with an impressive fall of 380m over three levels, are the largest in Europe and the fifth largest in the world.  We went to see them in Austria and decided to walk the pathway all the way to the top. It was a steep climb and when we reached the top, we were 1,470m above sea level. It was really loud. Sometimes … Continue reading We went chasing waterfalls

The Adventure

Has anyone ever been to a Barvarian beer garden? Well I hadn’t up until a few days ago. It was quite the experience. We went with our friend Marc, Ellen’s brother (check out the blog on our sailing trip). We biked off at around 4 pm. The bike ride was fairly short, only 21 Km there. We biked along the right side of the river … Continue reading The Adventure
