The annual trip to Usedom. As always in the past the weather is not idea for jumping in the water but a more reflective time. A quiet beach is the perfect place for a recharge only two hours away from Berlin.

A Schwerin Recharge
In case you live in Berlin but need a quick recharge away from the city, a recommendation, Schwerin, the capital of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. A quick two hour drive away from the German Capital, the mid-sized city moves at a relaxed pace.

On Hunting Mushrooms
Today, there was a national holiday in Germany. The weather has changed to fall with trees adding splendid colors. Venturing to the forest an hour outside of Berlin, to Brandenberg, mushroom hunting is a popular past time. This month the fungi were few and far between in comparison to past years.
Furthermore, the most noticeable aspect of being in the forest, clean air.

Staycation Preview Hamburg
A quick staycation to the port city of Hamburg is always nice. The last time I visited Covid rules were in place.

The Shire Franconia Style
I had a casual hike around the Beer Region of Franconia, Germany. The landscape made me think of The Shire from THE HOBBIT films.

My Yearly Usedom Recharge
I took my annual trip to Usedom. A mixture of clouds, cold, rain and sun made this tour a guessing game. For me it, walking along the long quiet empty beach for me is a mental battery charge.

A Keeping It Real Wine Tasting
When thinking of wine tasting, what comes to mind? Romance and sophistication enters the head. In the town of Ipsheim, Franconia, the occasion was more real. A local feel, sitting around a kitchen table with a Lazy Susan in the middle. As we were trying one bottle after another, more people came in, sat down to join. It was as if we were all friends meeting again after a long separation.

Wine Country Franconia
I spent my staycation in the Franconia region of Bavaria Germany. Romance, picturesque, rolling vines on hills shape the landscape. Traveling from one wine tasting spot to another, with every glass, my fondness grew. The warmth of the area beamed under the sunlight.
Hill top views, palace terraces, and old churches; traveling around from one village to another made for inspiring images.
