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

On the Road –  Part 1

On the Road – Part 1

October 16, 2017

Last week I asked for any questions about our trip that I could answer.  I got some good ones!  I may divide them up into a few posts as I am always rather long-winded... Q: (I'm) Very curious how you manage to move so quickly with bags, clothes, gear, etc. A: I'm going to answer this with some details about what exactly we are carrying first. Figuring out what to use for luggage and what ... View Post

Currywursttttttt!

Currywursttttttt!

October 5, 2017

  I’ve always felt like there has been something missing from my life. Like a hole in my heart or a chunk out of my spleen. Then when all hope seemed lost, I discovered currywurst. Currywurst is a German bratwurst covered in a tomato paste with an array of spices in it and topped with curry powder. It has the flavor of a spicy sausage with tomato sauce. It’s like nothing you’ve ever ... View Post
