Hello Friends and Followers, I have just returned to Munich from a 3 week trip to my hometown in Ontario, Canada. I am tired, jet lagged, and yet somehow completely refreshed. Being in Ontario in August for me is like a dream. It is hot, humid, full of long drives and so much good homegrown […]
Dearest readers, I was so happy when a friend of mine suggested we host a friend of his from Hamburg, because I hoped so much that it would give me the chance to visit the city, which I have wanted to do for so long. So in early July I did just that! I road […]
