Trier and Bernkastel-Kues

Saturday, October 6, 2012, was our last day to spend in Germany. We had spent the bulk of the trip on the road, but the night before we had arrived back in Trippstadt the night before and had stayed at Bryan and Erine’s house again. It was fitting that our last day was a bit more leisurely paced as we were all pretty exhausted from the fast-paced traveling that had taken us to a good portion of Germany’s corners. The rest of our tour would continue not too terribly far from our home base. We began at a respectable hour and stopped for a quick breakfast at the Barbarossa Cafe in Kaiserslautern. I had a cheese and ham pastry, PLUS I finally found the puddingbrezel that I had been looking for all trip-long. It had been the first food I had eaten in Germany when I arrived at the airport in 2008. Read the rest of this entry »
Bob and I awoke bright and early on the morning of Saturday, July 14, 2012, in the cleverly christened Mic Mac Motel in York, Maine. We had just barely crossed the Maine border the evening before, but this would officially be my first venture into Maine, the northeasternmost state in the union. In order to get a jump on the day, we left before 7am on this day, heading northward, stopping for breakfast at the Egg-Ceptional Restaurant in Poland for some corn beef hash and a pair of double yolkers. Then we moved on to yet another city named after a country: Paris, Maine.
