Madurodam

Madurodam

December 1, 2017

  The Man Behind the Name George Maduro was born in July 1916 to a Sephardic Jewish family in Willemstad, Curaçao. At a young age he moved to The Hague, Netherlands, to further his education. He lived there for the rest of his childhood.      George joined the Dutch army after finishing his education and was subsequently appointed to Second-Lieutenant-Reserve in 1939 ... View Post

Encore En France

Encore En France

November 18, 2017

  It’s been a strange ride through life to get here. To be back in France for a while and let the dust settle has been cathartic and interesting at the same time.  It is the same as I expected it to be on the surface: Paris is busy, the wail of sirens is always somewhere in the background, and the tourists are plentiful (even in November).   What’s been surprising to me is ...

Homeschooling On The Road

Homeschooling On The Road

November 11, 2017

    Most of my friends and family know that I have homeschooled the boys since they were born. It’s hard to believe that it’s been almost 10 years of official “schooling” in the sense that the boys had “work” to do and I had some accountability to myself and our charter school. Since we are traveling around the world this (school) year, it was not possible to remain with ... View Post

My Love/Hate Relationship

My Love/Hate Relationship

October 26, 2017

  I have a love/hate relationship with rail stations. I like to call them “bahnhofs,” since we have been in primarily German-speaking countries for the last few weeks. “Hauptbahnhof” (main rail station) just rolls off my tongue now! As we’ve been on the road for almost 60 days and have taken 31 trains, I feel somewhat knowledgeable about navigating rail stations. Your average bahnhof ... View Post

Tripoint of Austria, Slovakia and Hungary

Tripoint of Austria, Slovakia and Hungary

October 19, 2017

  Twenty minutes south of urban Bratislava, and about a kilometer west of the freeway, lies Szoborpark. One may wonder, “What makes this park so unique? After all, it is just some strange statues in the middle of farmland.” The answer is that it is one of the world’s 176 tripoints. A “tripoint” is a single point of land in which 3 countries meet. When following the border around a ... View Post

On the Road – Part 2

On the Road – Part 2

October 16, 2017

    Again, these questions are from our Facebook page where I asked people what they wanted to know about our trip... Q: How much pre-planning went into each destination? A: Pre-planning started last fall, so I gradually made reservations based on how far out things were. Airline tickets don’t go on sale usually more than 9-11 months before, so I had to wait to buy them ... View Post
