Neighbors
It’s amazing how trusting some animals are: The neighbor’s gray-tiger tomcat now comes running up to us as soon as he sees us or hears our voices to be petted extensively. And he’s not the only one! Two streets away lives a couple of black cats who also show up when we pass by. There […]
Snow, snow, snow
It started snowing heavily the week before last (?). I don’t know, about 30 to 40 centimeters came down. We also had -14 degrees, which is pretty extreme for Vancouver, where the temperatures are normally moderate and there is more rain than snow. Consequently, there was a lot of chaos, a „Snow Day“ was declared, […]
It’s over!
You might say, it’s not that dramatic, but my favorite brewery closed for good on December 22. And yes, I’m a bit sad because 1.) it was within walking distance, and 2.) it was the only brewery here that produced a really good Lager (yeah, I know, Canadians would want to challenge me on that, […]
Alpacas & friends
I’ve been hiking with huskies and donkeys several times in Germany, but never with alpacas. So I was delighted when I read about a farm 50 kilometers away that was having a Christmas market. When we arrived, the off-road qualities of our Ford Mustang were put to the test as we had to park in […]
Bye-bye Paddlewheeler Pub

They had a large outdoor area and an extensive menu that even included desserts, which is not always the case here. The food wasn’t bad – the highlight was a dessert called panookie: a hot cookie […]
Death Valley
I’ve always been fascinated by the beauty of deserts, so I couldn’t miss the chance to visit Death Valley last summer. The best seasons to go there are of course spring and fall, when it’s not so hot, but I combined it with a trip to the West Coast and went there in July – […]
Seattle
If you’re planning a trip to Seattle, here are some tips for you. The city has a fantastic public transport system, so you can go from the airport to downtown by train. When I stayed there in July I had chosen a hotel called „The Mediterranean Inn“ in Queen Anne that had good reviews, is […]
I collected some links on Warrel Dane
In the last two months I’ve watched so many videos about Warrel Dane, I thought other people might be interested in them as well. At the memorial, Jim Sheppard (Nevermore/Sanctuary) was sharing some funny memories (he decided not to hold the speech he had written and instead told them) at 1:36:40, then Lenny Rutledge (Sanctuary) was […]
