A Peep Show Machine And Video Games
Where to Go in Germany An Old Peep Show Machine In the age before computers and video games, itinerant amusement parks in the 30s to the 50s were the place kids and adults could have some fun. At the end of our day hike on the Siebengebirge south of Bonn in Germany, we chanced upon these…
Bonjour La Tristesse of the Parisian Banlieue
Hiking near Paris The Parisian Banlieue – a term covering anything from just outside of the city limits to villages and small towns a one-hour railway journey away – has a bad reputation, not all of it undeserved. But for every town over which a pallor of tristesse – actually, the bitterness of exile –…
Bricks in Buildings Won’t Break Your Bones
Bricks in Buildings Architects in most European countries have always considered bricks second rate material, i.e. inferior to stone. As a consequence, there are fairly few “prestige buildings” across Europe – churches, palaces of the high aristocracy – that are made of bricks. The exception to this rule is the extreme North of Germany (and…
Muenster Is My Kind Of Town

It is convenient to reach on foot and/or on public transport, yet sufficiently forest-like to pass for the real thing. For visitors, Mont…
Depends on what I alternatively could be riding, I suppose… :)
Always love a great walk and moved to our place in Calgary so we could walk everywhere. It’s a 25 minute walk to go downtown and we prefer to do that rather than take the car.
I see so much more when walking and it offers the opportunity to engage in conversation with others you may pass.
I am with you. I love to walk morning, noon, and even at night. I am fortunate to live across a pretty park with lots of pathways and paseos. Walking in the evening is therapeutic. A good way to unwind.
I just love going out for a walk. I have parks near where I live. There is the city and canals too. Walking is a great way of clearing my head.
There are days I love just going for a walk in the neighborhood. There is something about being outside the clears the mind and refreshes the spirit. I live in a great area for the outdoors but I also LOVE walking in big cities.
As you can see from my recent post, walking in the rain isn’t bad either :)
