My quest to try all of Freiburg’s ice cream flavors has continued, and now even includes Belize, so I figured it was time for an update. When we last left off, I had determined that mint just doesn’t taste as good around Germany as it does back home, so I’ve left it alone. There have been,…
We’re trying something new here: posting our best photos each month, from wherever we’ve been! To see more, be sure to follow Erin and I on Instagram!
For my birthday this spring, Erin bought two gift certificates to go paragliding just outside of Freiburg. To comprehend the enormity of the fact that she bought two, you have to understand – Erin is very afraid of heights. Like, legs hurt when near the edge of a balcony afraid. But she loves me enough to…
In the flurry of activity over the last few weeks, we haven’t written very much on our blog. I just wanted to give you a quick update on what’s going on around here. For those of you who don’t yet know, Brian and I have officially (and sadly) moved out of Freiburg. We spent an…

Having lived in Freiburg for nearly a year, I’ve noticed some strange things in and around the city. These quirks are what give Freiburg its character and uniqueness, and I think if you could ask the people here, you’d find that far from wanting to tone it down where strangeness is concerned, Freiburgers are quite proud of it.…
As the weather warms up, the sidewalks become crowded with the tables and chairs of cafés hoping to entice customers with the opportunity to partake in the most European of activities – sitting outside whilst sipping a beverage. And though the countless cafés can be nice, I have a special place in my heart for the…
As the jumping off point to many Black Forest excursions, Freiburg is a very outdoorsy city. In fact, as I write this, we have a guest staying with us during what might be the rainiest week of the year, and we find that we have no suggestions for her as far as activities in Freiburg…
In 2007, during my first visit to Berlin, I went on a free walking tour. Even though it was advertised as free, if at the end you thought the guide did a good job and you enjoyed the tour, you tip them what you thought it was worth. The idea was that you shouldn’t have to…
