Dollar has hit a new low against the Euro: $1.50 per Euro for the first time. I should have opened an account here last year, I would be several hundred dollars richer. German radio is saying that it’s a good time to take a trip to the US. So it goes… Dollar/Euro over last 6 […]

Regensburg is a cool city that I’ve visited a few times now, as it is only about an hour away, and has really good pizza!

It is a pretty rare event that we get some snow in the mountains here. My brother and I made plans to head up to the hills after he got off work this evening. We made it about half way up Gibralter before we were turned around by the police. Said we would get stuck. […]
