Europe 2010 - Day 11 - Side Trip to Kloster Seeon

Easter Sunday. Spent a quiet morning in, Shan reading, Dave getting stickers applied by Isabel...


Pretty pretty princess!


The sun was reluctant to come out...


...but not us. We set out for Kloster Seeon, a pretty abbey guarded by a dour sculpture...


Cool, though. We stood at the back of the church to listen to a song, then headed across the bridge...


...and past some sculpture...


...to find some Roman ruins purported to be nearby. Had a nice walk. No ruins found, but another nifty sculpture at a school...


...and a funny fence...



...and a tree house...


...and CAT MAGNET!



Whew. Time for some tea and coffee back in town...


...and more sculpture...


...and some daring slide action...

Europe 2006 - Day 1 - US to Germany

  • Flight from San Antonio to Washington, DC (Dulles)
  • Fun Geo Stuff 1: my water bottle has a handy diagram of the water cycle


  • Fun Geo Stuff 2: evidence of glacial retreat in Virginia

  • Flight from DC to Munich, Germany
  • Shan's toys: eBook reader + mp3 player


  • Shan's book [spoiler for George R. R. Martin's A Storm of Swords!]


  • Dave's toys


  • Dave's book - bonus points if you can identify it... (or even read it)


  • Best part of the Lufthansa flight: free Bailey's after dinner - yes, please! - almost like reading my book in a big, leather chair before a toasty fire - except not.
