The measurement problem of getting older.

I feel myself getting older. It is inevitable, really. It happens to all of us at some point along the way, so why am I struggling with the fact that I am struggling with it now? I get the process. We get older, we change, things change, and the world changes around us. As I […]

Deutsches Transport

In the continuing saga of catching up on our European road trip, I have to include our visit to the Deutsches Transportation Museum. I had visited the Deutsches Museum twenty-eight years ago, and I was blown away by the amount of exhibits they had on display of bikes, motorbikes, cars, and public transport vehicles. We […]

A Little Retroactive Germany Post

Looking back a bit, I realized that there was quite a bit of negativity in my last posts about our travels in Europe. I am not going to try to change that, or apologize about the feelings I expressed, because, well, that’s how I feel about it. It wasn’t a mistake. But a mistake was […]

Koh Phayam… And the ol’ visa shuffle

We made it to Koh Phayam. And I found a great place to sit and write a blog post. It was a spot that we had chosen as a maybe-place to stay for a couple of months, so we came down to check it out. The island sits in the Andaman Sea, just below the […]

Thailand… Heading South.

We flew into Bangkok nine days ago, and spent five of those in and out of a couple of different hospitals to do our annual/semiannual health checkups and screenings, labs, and x-rays. We always try to get this… Haha! just as I was writing that last sentence, I was pooped on by a gecko hiding […]

Eating Curry In Bed In Bangkok…

I am sitting in a hotel bed in Bangkok, eating my leftover green curry with chicken (yep. In bed), and it got me to thinking about things. Like, how I always feel so comfortable in Thailand… even for a few days in Bangkok before the noise and chaos chases me out. Perhaps there is something […]

A Bridge, Two Giants, And a Big Baby.

Okay, we are in France, but I am going back to Ireland again here for a minute. Several of the things I really loved about Ireland was the self-deprecating Irish sense of humor, their never-ending gift of blarney, and the folklore and mythology that run through everything they do (and have done). It is a […]

A Few More Sea Cliffs And Rocks… A Bit More Ireland.

Ireland is not that big. It does have 4,600-odd miles of coastline, though, so plenty of opportunity to visit sea cliffs and crazy rock formations. I’m not feeling terribly motivated to do a bunch of writing tonight, so I will just let the pictures carry this post. Enjoy! Thanks for checking it out!

Irish Highways and Byways.

Well, yes, it’s true we have been in Germany, Portugal and France for the last month and a half, but we have been busy with friends visiting, so I haven’t actually finished posting a few things about Ireland (or Germany, Portugal, or France for that matter). This is one I wanted to do for a […]

Haunted Houses and Castles, and a Bit of Spanish Treasure… Ballylough House

Yes, we are in Portugal now, but I am going to have to go back and do some posts on Ireland. We spent so much time driving and exploring that I didn’t get any downtime to post about all of our experiences. Here goes… Everything in Ireland seems to be old. Well, to be fair, […]
