They Call It Angel Mountain

Published by Sula H.

To Switzerland we wanted to go. Because you can’t just be in the neighborhood and not stop by there. And a little bit of hiking – that’s what we wanted to do. So we hopped into the car and went on a pretty little road trip. Pretty … because you can’t go to Switzerland without having to admit that it’s amazingly pretty. Little … because Switzerland is so small that everything is just a little distance away. And road trip … because after getting to Lake Lucerne, my car-mates decided that wasn’t spectacular enough, and so we got back on the road and moved on to Engelberg, the place they call Angel Mountain. And we found ourselves a mountain to do some hiking and a whole lot of hanging out there, too, enjoying the scenery.

See?

A Lesson in Castle-Ology

Published by Sula H.

Of course, being in school, we really have to make sure we learn as much as we can. That also includes a lesson in the science of castle-ology. The Sausenburg makes one great object lesson. Except: it was destroyed hundreds of years ago, and that was pretty much the end of it.

But we went there anyways. We climbed all the way up the keep – pretty much the only part of the castle that remains. And then we did learn something. About grand views. About the Black Forest, Switzerland, and France – all of which was spread out right before our eyes. And in the end, we decided that the Sausenburg was worth a little lesson in castle-ology anyway.

Back to School …

Published by Sula H.

… it is. And that means me be busy, busy, busy for the next couple of weeks! But at least we ended up in this romantic lil’ ol’ town, with lots of Black Forest all around, and then there’s Switzerland and France waiting right in the neighborhood, wanting to be explored just as well. So, you see, there’s really lots to study around here – about life in the Black Forest, about European soccer, about French cuisine, and the Swiss way of mountain climbing. And now you know why school keeps me so busy!

Off to study …

Change of Scene

Published by Sula H.

I’ve been on the road again. Halfway across the country.  To a tiny town in the far south-west corner of Germany my journey’s taken me. It’s basically the end of it. The end of the world, I mean. Or at least of Germany. Because France and Switzerland are both less than 20 min. away. In other words, going anywhere in these two countries is going to be closer than anything in Germany, really. So, welcome to the end of the world. And of course, welcome to Germany, Switzerland, and France …

 

P.S. Oh, and before I forget, I meant to ask this question: Why do oysters never give to charity?
Answer: Because they’re shellfish, duh!

P.P.S. If you think that’s just a silly joke, you can blame my friend for it. He just got it from his facebook, and I can’t take any responsibility for it, really.
