Cultural Differences – I
I mentioned not long ago that I was planning on doing a series of posts on cultural differences I had discovered between living in Canada and living in Germany. I’ve got a few posts started, but nothing finished yet. Then I remembered. When I started this blog most of my posts were reflections on a […]
A Night-time Visit
Went for an evening walk and the castle in the centre of Badenweiler was irresistible. I was sure it would be locked, but it wasn’t so in we went. Next time I will remember to bring my camera; this time all I had was a phone, but you get the idea. The view of the […]
The Donkey’s Tale

Kenya Safari I
It occurred to me it has been a while since I posted any travel photos. Since I will be travelling for the next couple of days it makes sense (to me anyway) to give you a few days of photo essays. In 2001 I went on a trip to Kenya with a friend. He was […]
