Hamburg 2014

By


Since I just posted about the other German cities we went to I thought I would pull together a picture post from our weekend trip to Hamburg last year. It was a great trip- lots of good food, amazing weather (the first sunny, warm weekend after winter) and tons of street art and graffiti. Really I thought we had a lot here, but Hamburg seemed like it was just everywhere. We definitely need to take another weekend trip soon. So enjoy the photos















These are big car elevators for the Elbe tunnel - tunnel under the Elbe river. You can walk down the stairs or take the elevator and then walk across.


No good photos of the tunnel




But every few feet there were these animal tiles on the wall

Raymond liked these guys on the public restrooms


There was a tiny mineral museum that was actually really nice



You can walk to the top of the planetarium and look out over the park/city

Colmar, France Part 2 - All the museums!

By
So when we were wandering around Colmar and spying on all the things we saw a sign that we happened to be in Colmar on a free night at the museum! So most of the museums in town were free from 7pm-11pm/midnight (depending on the museum). So we of course had to go check them out! There were only four in town so we were able to go to all of them, though by the end we were so tired and our feet were so sore from a long day of exploring and long night of museums.  First up was the Museum Bartholdi, but I didn't take any photos in there (I wasn't sure I was allowed and it was super busy, so many people!). It was super tiny, but interesting. There were a lot of models of ideas he had for different monuments and then what he actually ended up using. The one room was just ideas and designs for the Statue of Liberty which was cool. There wasn't a lot there, but what there was I enjoyed.  Then it was over to the Natural History and Ethnology Museum Cool bugs

San Francisco Part 1

By
  Oh San Francisco. What a wonderful time I had there. It was absolutely beautiful the entire time. Sunny, warm, gorgeous. Plus getting to spend a few days with Jacalen and Patricia = So much fun! We definitely need to do more girls trips! This will be a mostly picture post   I arrived late afternoon and the bus dropped me off near Fishermans Wharf and I walked over to where we were staying. Oh, it was gorgeous outside, but with my bags and such I was a bit warm. Not expecting that in February! Patricia arrived a bit after I did and we had the evening to ourselves to do whatever we wanted! It was so nice out and we were staying in the Marina District so it was just a short walk down to the water. Beautiful!   After wandering along the waterfront for a bit it was time for some dinner! We happened to find the Plant Cafe and I got a plant burger with fries and a salad. Really tasty! Afterwards we went to get a drink and noticed the bar had trivia on Tue
