This morning we got up early to get into the city from our house in Landsmeer. We had tickets to tour the Anne Frank House - one of the few touristy things we scheduled and planned. I was a bit apprehensive about it but I'm glad we went. There are many lessons in what … Continue reading February 15th, 2020 – Day 7: Amsterdam, The Netherlands

February 14th, 2020 – Day 6: Dublin to The European Continent
COFFEE!!! We need coffee. It's up well before the chickens and off to the airport. Destination: Germany. One more trip (for me) to Köln (Cologne) to see that huge cathedral.

February 10th, 2020 – Day 2: Galway, Ireland to Athlone, Ireland
Wow. What a day. We got up and around at a leisurely pace this morning after a much-needed night's sleep. I think we slept about 10-11 hours. We have encountered some fierce winds, sleet, rain, snow...and no damn sun so far. Not what I need to get over my S. A. D. but if it … Continue reading February 10th, 2020 – Day 2: Galway, Ireland to Athlone, Ireland
