My feet were hurting by then

(Another look back at being a tourist in Germany … )

Here we were in Berlin. Just a half block away was the historic Checkpoint Charlie. We saw this on our huge day of Berlin walking and when we saw the famous Brandenburg Gate up close.

The closest pastures are on your left

(Extra material from our trip to England.)

As you travel over to Stonehenge in the late spring or early summer, you’ll see fields and fields and acres and acres of cowslip. Not a bad way to distract yourself from the realization that “THAT MAN IS DRIVING ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD!”

I have seen the future

And it doesn’t want $15 an hour:

I wonder how easy they are to use. And I wonder if this will finally mean you can reliably get your quarter-pounder with no pickles.

Brandom-burg pic

(Extra material from our trip to Germany.)

I knew there were selfies from the Brandenburg Gate. I just stumbled on them, and here’s one now.

Make fun of the selfie stick if you like, but it helped us compose some nice pictures during the trip.

There probably will be plenty of extra shots from the trip for a while. See them again for the first time!
