Navigon, "Take Me Home": February 2011
http://erivatro.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Navigon, "Take Me Home". An American Family's Adventures Abroad. Sunday, February 27, 2011. February Night - Alt Stadt Heidelberg. The air was brisk-cold, so we headed toward the parking garage, back past the church, through the main square, past the Corn Market Madonna (my favorite statue in the city), under the watchful statesmanship of the castle. So, I'm saying a prayer that you've got one up your sleeve. Love you. -Val. Saturday, February 19, 2011. And the early suspicion I felt I saw in everyone's ...

GrizzlyBarb: Exploring The Area
http://grizzlybarb.blogspot.com/2009/06/exploring-area.html
Adventures in Alaska and beyond. Monday, June 8, 2009. Nice job on this blog.I felt like I was there. I could almost taste those waffles. Yummmmmm.I would have ordered the chocolate with the whip cream for sure! June 10, 2009 at 6:32 PM. I plan on taking the family back there to check the city out. Maybe we can try a different topping on the waffles, then. The choc syrup did look REALLY good. I still havent tried the frites. Can you believe we ate at Burger King yesterday? June 11, 2009 at 3:09 AM. Play ...

Navigon, "Take Me Home": Over-thinking
http://erivatro.blogspot.com/2011/07/over-thinking.html
Navigon, "Take Me Home". An American Family's Adventures Abroad. Wednesday, July 27, 2011. I am an over-thinker. It can paralyze my decision-making (and, in fact, I usually believe that any decision I make will end up being the wrong one). So, settling down here, buying a house, is overwhelming. I can live anywhere for 2 or 3 years, in any house. It's how we've lived. Bad neighbors? We'll be gone in 2 years. Lousy storage space? Next house will be better. So, we want to live on the peninsula. There are 2...

Navigon, "Take Me Home": November 2010
http://erivatro.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Navigon, "Take Me Home". An American Family's Adventures Abroad. Tuesday, November 30, 2010. So, what does one do for entertainment once the grey, grey, cold days of November come? Go to a schwimmbad (indoor water park)! It's fun, food and a balmy 85 degrees inside. We have a couple of smaller ones nearer our home, but this is a favorite. It's in Weinheim, near Frankfurt, less than an hour away. Here's the main attraction, the wave pool. There are smaller pools all around, and plenty of places to relax.

Navigon, "Take Me Home": April 2011
http://erivatro.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Navigon, "Take Me Home". An American Family's Adventures Abroad. Monday, April 18, 2011. Barcelona is a city of architecture. Buildings housing completely ordinary purposes present extraordinary facades. Buildings that, anywhere else, would be a city highlight, simply have balconies. This is the street-side exterior of our apartment building. We rented a 3-bedroom apartment in the Eixample area of the city. With the sea beyond, Montjuic. To our right, Agbar. I know, 14 already.). Built by Antoni Gaudi.

Navigon, "Take Me Home". An American Family's Adventures Abroad. Wednesday, October 27, 2010. What's better than a real flea market? Not the kind with pirated DVDs or tube socks or tacky t-shirts, but the kind that requires "No new items" and sells things with a history, with a past, with a real uniqueness. So last week I found out there was a flea market in Mannheim that was supposed. To be big. It's held once a month, and I didn't know about it! Sure, let's go.". Oh yeah, this is gonna be good. This is...

GrizzlyBarb: May 2009
http://grizzlybarb.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Adventures in Alaska and beyond. Sunday, May 31, 2009. Sunday In Downtown Anchorage. We decided to spend our last Sunday in Anchorage visiting the downtown area. We were happy "tourists" and had a great time today. We walked around the area, visited a lot of the local tourist shops, and bought a few things to take with us. We also went to the Bear And Raven Theater and saw a great little movie about the Iditarod. How cool is that? The icing on the cake today was having our family portrait taken. When...

GrizzlyBarb: December 2008
http://grizzlybarb.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Adventures in Alaska and beyond. Wednesday, December 31, 2008. Snowzilla and The Tournament of Roses Parade. Won't be appearing at the Tournament of Roses Parade. It would be exciting, but it's just not going to happen. What did happen (a few days ago- sorry I'm so slow on the news updates) is a group of supporters came out to City Hall to protest the poor treatment of our beloved Snowzilla. It was a peaceful demonstration, and no one was arrested. It's our 50 th. Anniversary as a state! Our 50 Years of ...

Navigon, "Take Me Home": Sagrada Familia
http://erivatro.blogspot.com/2011/04/sagrada-familia.html
Navigon, "Take Me Home". An American Family's Adventures Abroad. Monday, April 18, 2011. If Barcelona is a city of architecture, the Basilica. Is its pinnacle. Designed by Antoni Gaudi. The structure became his masterpiece work. It is still being constructed based on his design. He worked on it for 40 years, living there and dedicating himself solely. If St Paul's Cathedral in Rome is the definition of reverent, holy, dedicated, then the Sagrada. Is, by contrast, joyful, exuberant. Was sick and homebound.
