Lots of places like to claim to be the buckle of the Bible belt in the southeastern U.S.  Knoxville, TN isn’t the buckle, but more likely a well used notch on the way to the real thing.   This to say that I’ve seen my share of street preachers,...

Nuremberg, Spectacularly Enough....

in Traveling, January 25, 2020

I’ve reflected so often on what draws me into Nuremberg. It’s not New York or Paris or Munich. It’s small, there’s no obvious draws, and the parking is often terrible. But, once the grocery store ladies have been left behind and the car has been parked, the...

Orthodox Humiliation

in The Little Differences, Traveling, September 8, 2019

*This post began as a letter to a friend… For months since you’ve written about your upcoming trip to ***, and I’ve been trying to think of some words of wisdom to pass on to you. After all, I travel constantly, as a serious hobby. Our family’s...

Life List Item- Gecheckt!

in Teaching, The Little Differences, Traveling, Women Abroad, July 11, 2019

Anyone else who speaks fluent Denglish will see what I did there. I was on a podcast!  I hope it’s not my last one, but it was definitely a life list experience fulfilled.  Anticipating my move to Germany in 2009 really was the instigator behind me listening...

Scenes from the balcony, Summer Edition. I love wh Scenes from the balcony, Summer Edition. I love where I live. It’s so very quiet. The only sounds I hear is the hum of a very distant vehicle and an occasional tweet from a bird, up past its bed time.  A jogger just ran by. The wind is blowing just a bit, and according to my watch it is exactly sunset time. The days are getting shorter but they’re still pretty long. #ilovesummer #echtnürnberg #franconianlifestyle #lovedeutschland #lovewhereyoulive #sunsetlover #expatslife #bavaria #eveningsky #feierabend #bavarianvillage #franken
Do I love wearing this mask around? No. Will I? Ye Do I love wearing this mask around? No. Will I? Yes. Without (too much) complaining because I know that it’s a quicker path to eradicating #covid19. This mask let me travel to Spain with @graeme_aissen and @lila_aissen this week. Wearing it means I’m a (small) part of the solution. Very grateful to be where I am, and that wearing it isn’t an act of politics but a simple gesture that signifies that my neighbor is as important as I am. #mask #mallorca #wearamask #wearyourdamnmask #notpolitics #publichealth #publichealthmatters #passionpassport #travelincoronatimes
