Christmas Adventures Part 1: Erfurt part 2

Our full day in Erfurt we wandered all over spying on all the Christmas markets

Ramen for lunch from Jen Ramen - pretty tasty and good on a cold day

Erfurt is the home of a children's television station here in Germany so there were fun statues from their shows all over the town

We got some fresh soft pretzels here! So good!

Pear punch from a stall in Wenigemarkt - not too sweet so it was perfect! A lot of the non-alcoholic kinderpunsches are super sweet so I can't really drink much, but this had a light flavor and was nice to help us warm up

Some treats from Zucker & Zimt which were really tasty

In the evening we wandered around Zitadelle Petersberg

The main Christmas market from the Citadel

Blurry photo but fried cauliflower and brussel sprouts from the market - the brussel sprouts were amazing!

A beet apple walnut flamkuchen from the market at Wenigemarkt - also super good!

And a Langos from the same market

With some Churros for dessert! All the treats!

This was such a nice day! The snow really made everything more magical, the Christmas markets were great and we loved trying all the things! And seeing all the cute statues around town!

The final days in Paris

Our second day of our museum pass we used to go to the Louvre. It so huge - we spent from open to close there and just managed to see everything. It is also very confusing how to get from point a to point b - so many stairs and up and down floors just to see the one floor....good thing I had Raymond or I would have wondered aimlessly forever (but by the end I had the hang of it). We started with the medieval Louvre, Greek, Etruscan, Roman and Egyptian Antiquities. When we first walked in we were right behind a few tour groups, but somehow we lost them pretty quick and we able to walk around and brows without tons of people. I cannot imagine going during the summer when it is super crowded. I liked the different colors of stone on some of them After that we got some lunch nearby then headed back to look at the paintings Then my favorite part - decorative arts. So much fun pretty things. Replica of Napoleons apartment. Then ...

Campervan Adventures in Iceland: Day 11 - Kerid Crater & Reykjanes Peninsula

Day 11 our first stop was Kerid Crater. This was nice, but nothing special. You have to pay to get in, you can walk around the top and then down to the water, but if you are going to be seeing other craters then this is an easy one to skip. Nice, but nothing special.

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 ...
