Fall trip 2022: Quedlingburg

Fall 2022 my friend had just moved over to Munich and we had decided to go on a trip to celebrate! We had been planning on going to Tuscany, but it was just after Oktoberfest in Munich and she had a lot of in person things to go to for work resulting in people she was in close contact with testing positive for Covid. We decided to cancel our plans because a) We don't want Covid and b) if she did catch it right before leaving and would be really sick it is nicer to be sick at home than on vacation. So we chatted and there is a pumpkin festival in Ludwigsburg and we decided to meet up there for a long weekend instead. 

Raymond and I decided to still take a week to go hiking and explore a new to us area - Harz! And I am so glad we did! It was gorgeous! 

The first stop was Quedlingburg. We got there in the evening so once we were settled in we wandered the town to see what we could see. It was pretty empty which was odd as it wasn't that late, but really pretty.





The next day we went on a full tour of the town. It is not that big so it was pretty easy to navigate around.



There were more people out and about during the day























St Servius church is up on a hill


With views over the town









For an afternoon snack we got these chimney treat! They were all vegan!

And wandered back up to the lookout to enjoy the views once more


Quedlingburg was such a cute town. It was like we were in Beauty and the Beast, my favorite!

Stupid Libraries.

So I only have six minutes left and just wasted a few seconds letting you know, but I need some assistance in getting things off our iPod onto the net. In the last town we were in, I came so close to getting it up only to be thwarted by the only damn cd -burner in the shop being broken. This is the problem: my iPod is mac formatted - the folks at Apple thought it would be hilarious to not include some sort of compatibility between windows and mac versions of iTunes to read the voice memos you record from any computer. If your iPod formatted on a mac (I believe it's HSF +), windows iTunes will tell you to reformat the buggar . And get this, the iPod records voice memos in old school PC style wav files. What the hell. Anyway, I can't test or install things on this library computer, but if someone checking the blog who is tech savvy could find a program to retrieve data from a mac formatted iPod from a windows machine - a program that doesn't use a god damn install

Paris here we come!

So not much to update since the last time. I'm trying to think what we even did the past two weeks. Well last weekend was roller derby nationals in Atlanta, GA and is the first time we haven't gone to nationals in...4 years! We have gone the past 4 years so it was a little sad not to be there. However they do stream it live for a small fee so we did that so last weekend lots of roller derby was watched! Luckily it was on the east coast so it was only 6 hours difference so we didn't stay up too too late (Sat I think we got to bed at like 3am) and we got to watch Gotham win again! It was fun watching from the couch, but I much prefer to be there. I mean when I would be yelling at the TV and clapping and cheering when something good happened and it is just not the same when it is just me doing that. The claps echo in the room...Next year is going to be in Milwaukee which I don't really know anything about, but apparently they have a lot of vegan food. We shall see if we ma

The end

So it started raining on us for days and we cut out to come back to Seattle for a few days and wait for it to clear up.....and then Raymond decided he really did not want to go back out. So I at first was pretty upset cause I really wanted to get to Canada, or at least as far as we could while the weather was still nice this weekend. And I was feeling really like we were giving up for no reason. Like if one of us were injured or if I was hating it or something then I would have been better about it. But instead it was like the forecast called for gorgeous weather this weekend and we were just going to sit at home. I figured we could have at least gotten to the next stop and then only had one more chunk to do next year, but Raymond really didn't want to go back out so we decided not to. But hopefully by this time next year we will get the last 2 sections done, and maybe go back and do the section from white pass to snoqualmie as we went RIGHT by Mt Rainier and it is supposed to be g
