A blog of our travels, and of the random thoughts that occur to me while I am wandering aimlessly about the globe
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 […]
Read More A Little Retroactive Germany PostOkay, we are in France, but I am going back to Ireland again here for a minute.
