I don’t know about you guys, but I need a mental break from the coronavirus news. We’re not on full lockdown here in the Netherlands, but bars, restaurants, and gyms are closed, public transportation has been reduced, and people are encouraged to work from home. Long story short, it’s all anyone can talk about. So,Continue reading “48 Hours in Munich, Germany”

The adventure continues!
Six years ago, we moved to the Netherlands so that I (Shane) could complete a PhD. Last March, I completed said PhD.

Merry (Almost) Christmas !
I would just like to start out by saying that the city right now is just beautiful. So many lights everywhere! Each street has its own unique set. There are candles, twinkling diamonds, icicle lights, you name it. It actually makes it easier for giving directions… “Meet me on the street with the sparkling holly!” It’sContinue reading “Merry (Almost) Christmas !”
