Oktoberfest?
The month is over and for the second year in a row I failed to take part in any Oktoberfest activities. Soon they’ll be revoking my honorary German status. The closest I came was last week in Munich, which, as everyone knows is the spiritual centre of Oktoberfest. Well, I wasn’t actually in the city, […]
I Went For A Walk
Took a different route than usual, wound up in the vineyards to the west of Sulzburg, with views of both Laufen and Ballrechten-Dottingen. You can see the fall colours in the vineyards. I have no idea how long the warm fall weather is going to last – but I intend to take full advantage while […]
Dinner Time (Cultural Differences XV)
Came across another cultural difference , but not one between Germany and Canada as I have been documenting here from time to time. This one surprised me. We were invited to dinner in a village about a 40-minute drive from our home in Sulzburg. Our hosts were celebrating their new apartment. They came here as […]
Sunset
Went for a walk in the vineyards on the side of Castellberg, just as the sun was setting in the distance. Hadn’t thought to bring my camera, so we have to make do with these shots from my phone. It was a beautiful sight, and sadly I don’t think the pictures really convey that as […]
Liliental – IV (Wanderer)
Came across this sculpture at a lookout on the trail in the Liliental forest. It seems to fit nicely into its environment.
Liliental – III
Saturday was a perfect day to enjoy the fall colours.

More images from Saturday’s walk through this forest area.
Liliental – I
Our neighbours suggested a walk in the forest in the Liliental area, about an hour’s drive from Sulzburg. Yesterday was a warm (25C) Autumn day, perfect for such an outing. We weren’t the only ones with that idea. There were hundreds of people on the walking trails, enjoying the fall colours. The change of seasons […]
On The Bus Again
Took the bus yesterday, for the first time since coming back to Germany. It hasn’t changed in the three months since my last trip. When I was in German class, I took the bus every day and wrote most of the posts you read here on the trip. I used to do the same thing […]
Walnutty
If the tree is by the side of the road then the nuts are for anyone who wants them. Or so I have been told. Apparently, local municipalities plant walnut trees because they are low maintenance and people can be counted on to do the harvesting. I guess the grocery stores aren’t that thrilled, but […]
