I knew where I wanted the kitchen. Had an idea of making a study where the baby calves slept. There was to be a baby grand in the main room in front of the kitchen and the bedrooms were one floor up. I spent a lot of time and summer visits dreaming. <br />
<br />
I love older homes derelict or not if they have character. And this one was one of many that I took photos to dream about. <br />

Repair the roof, put in new windows, paint the front door a sea blue. Plant rhododendrons in front of the house and maybe put a stone wall around the back yard. Small window boxes in the front windows. The window in the left back would be large enough for a decent view from the kitchen and there would be a patio area out back for enjoyment of a cup of tea. A skylight over the front left room for light in the main room. Possibly 2 bedrooms and bath on the right. And a huge rhubarb patch. We saw a few large patches. Something that I did not expect.</div>

We were excited to get to Ennis on our first day in Ireland and listen to some good music on the last day of the Fleadh Nua Music Festival but first we were hungry and not every pub serves food. In downtown Ennis we found the perfect place - a small coffee shop and restaurant that was part of a department store. Think Ikea but on a tiny scale with clothing and better merchandise like art and china.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We had landed only about an hour before in Shannon, Ireland and were greated by what I thought that typical Irish weather was - cold, rainy, windy. Traveling to Doolan we could see the ruins of the Abbey from the main road but . . .how to get there. The roads got narrower until we were on a one lane road and the only person around was an older man walking his dog.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I have a hard time asking people in other countries for things, expecting a look that says that I'm less than smart and am wasting their time. But the man (as are most people that I meet) was lovely and he directed us down the road and said that "the gate will be open." We drove past the cows and parked next to the ruins, the only visitors on this morning. </div>

What a difference 3 days can make. The top photo was taken on March 18th, a day after a snow fall. It was cold and the atmosphere of the Mall matched the gray of the sky. The second photo was taken on March 22nd. Vendors were out and the line for the carousel was long and filled with happy children and parents. And the ice cream stores seemed to be very popular!jodihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10753431959774958127noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5338631491080576983.post-15355023519829448262014-01-29T09:46:00.001-08:002014-03-22T15:08:59.885-07:00Oahu, a breath of fresh air in winter (winter 2011)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="text-align: justify;">Years ago my brother-in-law and his wife owned an apartment in the </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_district" style="text-align: justify;">Fan District</a><span style="text-align: justify;"> in Richmond Va. They lived in the second story apartment which was chocked full of personality. High ceilings, nice woodwork, a wonderful living area for relaxing in. They were also my introduction to </span><a href="http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3205932C1B18B875" style="text-align: justify;">New Age Music/Wyndham Hill</a><span style="text-align: justify;">, melt in your mouth spare ribs and cranberry muffins. Great memories.
So with the snow coming down on Tuesday and being home from school I decided to make muffins after I took a walk in the snow.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvNQnrvtE-x7jyCi4mG8LZ0xj2R8N5u42QufJV2BfdJCM0CfXS8BchqOg8Z3YpQ1GWhQCvSmPZtAjMBgdrXr2GZfLYqjpKfpHKPoLnjTjnbTBnGidwt0AXbkdtCfY_gKMfjU1JBnNtAo-2/s1600/DSC05289.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvNQnrvtE-x7jyCi4mG8LZ0xj2R8N5u42QufJV2BfdJCM0CfXS8BchqOg8Z3YpQ1GWhQCvSmPZtAjMBgdrXr2GZfLYqjpKfpHKPoLnjTjnbTBnGidwt0AXbkdtCfY_gKMfjU1JBnNtAo-2/s320/DSC05289.JPG" /></a></div>
And here is the recipe.<br />
Cranberry Muffins<br />
1/4 cup butter<br />
1 1/4 cup sugar<br />
2 eggs<br />
2 cups flour<br />
2 tsp baking powder<br />
1/4 tsp salt<br />
1/2 cup milk<br />
2 cups cranberries<br />
1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)<br />
<br />
Cream butter with sugar. Add eggs and beat til smooth. Sift flour with baking powder and salt. Add to mixture alternately with milk. Add cranberries and walnuts.
Bake at 350* for 25 - 30 minutes.<br />
<br />
**I made mini muffins this time. Cooking time was 15-20 minutes. Also my sister-in-law made them with 1 cup white flour and 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour. I generally do the same. The walnuts I grind fine.
**Enjoy with drink of choice. Mine was with tea a student brought back from South Africa and Dandelion Honey made by another family. Dandelion Honey is fabulous and I look forward to Spring to try and make my own.

This was the question posted to the Travel Talk column of the Washington Post. The answer man for that question mentioned that the couple could use the train and get off at various stops to see different sights during that 7 hours.
I would also have suggested to look into booking a tour guide. One that will meet you at the airport, hopefully with their own transport. Make a list of the things that you would like to see, if only to drive by. Then make a list of things that you want to tour. And pick a few out of each list. Assume that you will be back.
I would pick the Eiffel Tower to visit. But you may say - I've heard that the lines to go up are long. True, but if you are in reasonable health consider taking the stairs. The line is usually shorter there, the stairs are wide - plenty of room for stopping and resting while taking in the view and it only goes to the second story - about 600 or so steps. That is plenty high enough to get a great view of the city in all directions and take some photos. Plus, going down is easier :-).
Also, once you have your list of things to visit make sure that they are open on the day you plan to tour the city. Various sights are closed at least one day during the week. You don't want to waste time and energy. jodihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10753431959774958127noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5338631491080576983.post-77942626242197833082013-12-07T11:41:00.003-08:002014-03-22T15:10:20.188-07:00The Liebfrauenkirche (The Church of our Lady) Trier, Germany<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7-3DwtJ_eDnzpVQa3iX3inlrDMyQjaeimNZTHaoL33eSpvBuVHT7GwR1vH_BxKRv_UTaiI2J9cXpvJAEjQKB6tLnHbYRFxQQq-22uy5Miui0ZZcBanSg2n3hw7dRXigXniuIAx_SuLuYI/s1600/DSC03306.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7-3DwtJ_eDnzpVQa3iX3inlrDMyQjaeimNZTHaoL33eSpvBuVHT7GwR1vH_BxKRv_UTaiI2J9cXpvJAEjQKB6tLnHbYRFxQQq-22uy5Miui0ZZcBanSg2n3hw7dRXigXniuIAx_SuLuYI/s320/DSC03306.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgu3IlvvYzotmoMUPhQdhgGwOzzMER6NKkqlWJQU4Eo30XeL-J5FoCf2PCu6d9YFtFqpFu4Hw50_GswsJy1tRBQNYuGCE_E_3xQ8-kn_QGyy_Rtvhws6oyKiQYVFa-SkQFLSQjavWpAoNj/s1600/DSC03307.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgu3IlvvYzotmoMUPhQdhgGwOzzMER6NKkqlWJQU4Eo30XeL-J5FoCf2PCu6d9YFtFqpFu4Hw50_GswsJy1tRBQNYuGCE_E_3xQ8-kn_QGyy_Rtvhws6oyKiQYVFa-SkQFLSQjavWpAoNj/s320/DSC03307.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGiESEmoFt2WayTMLzpQq1RyyTmxpAMXDFXWvh0VY_A3djubakvUQYBQ_47LmwS_iAGnblrtrzHF5F3CMlV0k0P3Kio11db4VYz_b8ejkpO7hl4aiAGi9D-FUkS4OhXTRYSS2KXXd05aoO/s1600/DSC03308.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGiESEmoFt2WayTMLzpQq1RyyTmxpAMXDFXWvh0VY_A3djubakvUQYBQ_47LmwS_iAGnblrtrzHF5F3CMlV0k0P3Kio11db4VYz_b8ejkpO7hl4aiAGi9D-FUkS4OhXTRYSS2KXXd05aoO/s320/DSC03308.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioAYDcVjNyra07BfaMvXz51pmWo3b3BWwZfWtjbiPtH2lIJQTt1DnFH_9bWo9Wmhp5IsEENxPtGsm9pkYaACjJc_X-1TY6-90WoVGrrxtWFvwtthQivv6YXk2i-lMnih9bMqkIl_a_WkvX/s1600/DSC03312.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioAYDcVjNyra07BfaMvXz51pmWo3b3BWwZfWtjbiPtH2lIJQTt1DnFH_9bWo9Wmhp5IsEENxPtGsm9pkYaACjJc_X-1TY6-90WoVGrrxtWFvwtthQivv6YXk2i-lMnih9bMqkIl_a_WkvX/s320/DSC03312.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU2O2rx6KVLVtZxFcPEtrKM-mtYNC5t67fz-Zj02zGIuhFUTIxwOUwmQjyzF6JMl4cBTr8CFEhCUNYyagFHjD7SUQjnNLoIi14J7OJ4i6m6owhEnmskhitgyKAmovgv7uRH-lPTjgSrZck/s1600/DSC03313.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU2O2rx6KVLVtZxFcPEtrKM-mtYNC5t67fz-Zj02zGIuhFUTIxwOUwmQjyzF6JMl4cBTr8CFEhCUNYyagFHjD7SUQjnNLoIi14J7OJ4i6m6owhEnmskhitgyKAmovgv7uRH-lPTjgSrZck/s320/DSC03313.JPG" /></a>

I want to know where the train station is, train ticket office location and ATM locations.
The first time we went to Europe we got Euros from the bank and AAA. Now we have a few coins to tide us over when we land but I still like to have cash in my pocket. It keeps me from having to find an ATM when I get to my destination.
It seems that most, if not all, of the train ticket machines in Germany have an English button to push. It used to be so much harder - trying to figure out your destination in a language that you may not know well. I used these machines some but for the initial visit and some others I went to the train ticket office at the airport or the one in the city I stayed in. Most ticket counter people speak good enough English.
When I got to the train at the Frankfurt Airport I wasn't sure if I was headed out on the right train and which station I was getting off on. The ticket instructions, when put in use, were a bit vague and I was a little tired. So I approached an older couple and asked them if they spoke English (in German - do learn some key phrases for the country that you are going to). The husband spoke English and helped me with getting off at the right place. jodihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10753431959774958127noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5338631491080576983.post-27936390720152491302013-12-04T17:50:00.001-08:002014-03-22T15:11:21.596-07:00Porta Nigra, Trier, Germany<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

As I walked past the church on a Sunday evening the bells were ringing wildly so I walked into the church to see what was happening. A concert featuring a violin, organ and an Alto was about to begin.
For 10 Euro I was treated to marvelous music. The acoustics were perfect. The children that sat in front of me were not.
I'm used to seeing older German ladies correct behaviors that they feel are not quite correct. Sitting down on church steps, parking where you aren't supposed to - naming a few (and only one of them I'm guilty of :-). So I waited for someone to tap the mother of the children to tell her to get her kids under control or take them out. It never happened. The mom tried to get the 4 year old girl to stop talking and the child just smiled sweetly and said "Nein." and she kept talking while coloring. The 8 year old boy was fine until near the end when he started teasing his sister. At the end of the concert he ran over to the prayer candles and started to play with them and matches! The older woman with them never said a word. I was shocked.
But back to the music.
The three played and/or sang Dvorak, Mozart, Corelli, Bach along with Handel's "O thou that tellest good tidings to Zion" The best however was the last song which was the hymn "Lobe den Herren" - <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRhGR1OCjjk">Praise to the Lord, the Almighty</a>. The congregation stood and sang. It was beautiful. A perfect ending.jodihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10753431959774958127noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5338631491080576983.post-82635467806063730122013-12-02T15:46:00.000-08:002014-03-22T15:13:19.825-07:00Cochem, Cond and the walk to ValwigCond is across the bridge from Cochem.

Garden allotments fascinate me. They are an intimate portrait of the people who enjoy them. Many were vegetable gardens while other contained small vineyards or just playground equipment - most with little huts.

The train station is centrally located and offers easy access to other Christmas market towns (abt an hour or so train ride to many). It has a small town atmosphere, a nice promenade along the Mosel River and a beautiful castle that overlooks the area.

The market in Cochem is small but not as tiny as some articles on the internet would lead one to believe. There is a major tent with live (sometimes) music, a restaurant and some artisans selling their wares. On the outside of the tent were little huts with several vendors selling everything from candy, snacks and Christmas items or presents. <br />

On the day I arrived I got some hot cocoa (unfortunately watered down a bit and with whipped cream that seemed to be lacking in sweetness) and a nutella crepe that was delicious. <br />

I sat on a bench on the walkway by the Mosel River and drank up the scenery. It was slightly chilly and damp but the views of the boats going up and down the waterway and of people out for a stroll were so relaxing that I could shake off the travel stresses with ease. (why do airplanes oversell seats and then beg people to give away their seats so that others could make it to their destinations? If I wanted to give away my seat would I have made plans to go to Germany in the first place?) But anyway . . .

The shop windows were adorable.
And at 6 pm most of the market closed down and it was time for dinner and an early bed.jodihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10753431959774958127noreply@blogger.com0
