Sept Adventures 2023: Hiking near Wernigerode & Thale

Today we got up and went for a hike in the valley above Wernigerode

The trail we were following was pretty nice with good views, though at one point it got very overgrown with tall grasses so we made our own way to where we were going on better trails






Having a homemade Blueberry Iced Tea which was so refreshing while relaxing by the Steinerne Renne waterfall


This was such a nice spot for a break and to have lunch!

The way back to the car was along the water and nice and cool






Then it was off to our next stop - Thale

We stayed right by Friedenspark

And Raymond lost his hat somewhere so we wandered into town to find a new on. 

There were so many wooden sculptures/benches everywhere




Back in the park




So many fun benches!

Thale is a strange town as there isn't really a good downtown to wander around. But there is great hiking in the area so it was a good place to stay. 

I hadn't found a ton of food options in Thale so we headed into Quedlingburg for dinner at Le Feu

For flammkuchen! We had the falafel and potato flammkuchen

And tried the apple and the apple pear for dessert! The apple pear one was flambéd with Cointreau, which I was iffy on, but it was really good

And then a quick wander through town on the way back to the car

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
