We are in Prague (Praha as it’s called by the locals) for the week while my dad is working. It is a beautiful city and there is so much to see… and to eat. Every single brightly colored building seems to end in a point, and music is always playing. The Czech Republic is a […]

We are in Austria, home of the Yodeling Veterinarian of the Alps, also known as Larry the Cucumber from Veggietales. It’s also the home of the Lonely Goat Hand from the Sound of Music movie. Both the goat hand and the veterinarian are proficient yodelers, so we asked our friendly Airbnb hosts if they yodeled. […]

The Cinque Terra are five hills connected by hiking paths and water. There are no cars allowed most of the time there, making the place feel almost like Disney Land, with its beautiful sea, colorful buildings and umbrellas, and everyone walking everywhere. There’s not much beach there, but the rocks and water are beautiful. However, […]

Yesterday was an excellent day in Prague. We woke up, finished our schoolwork, and headed out for a treat. This treat has many names such as chimney cakes, trdelnik, and Franken cones, yet all of them are scrumptious. Here are pictures of us with them. Afterward, we saw a huge candy shop. This store has […]

I went on a long, coastal, hike with just my mom & dad in Cinque Terra!   The hike had lots of stony, gray, stairs. Some of the stairs were almost half my height! There are multiple trails that lead off the main path, and I wonder what they lead to. Three of my favorite […]

You may ask, what is a Siri? A Siri is like a car, but instead of horse power, this vehicle has pedal power. Today we went to Lucca and rode a Siri. The Siri was green and yellow and could seat all six of us. Since the bike was so big, we had Maddie honk […]

We went to the Cinque Terra beach. The water has hermitcrabs, seaweed, and rocks. The hermitcrabs have really beautiful and sometimes colorful shells. Jackie tried to pick one up, but there was a crab in it. I tried to go into the cold, blue, water, but I saw all the colorful, slimy, fuzzy seaweed and […]

Much of Europe processes eggs differently so that you can keep them on your counter instead of your fridge! Ranch dressing is hard to come by in Europe. As a result our kids have discovered balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Refrigerators can have on/off, easily accessible, switches (like a light switch) that can be turned […]

We had a good time riding on a Suri . I want to sit in the front with Maddie and honk a horn. But I don’t fit. So I sit in the front in the middle. I get to trade with mom and  I get to pedal with Jackie, Owen, and dad. Mom switches with […]
