Annecy, France It’s just breathtaking! The mountain views, the lake, the old town, the food, everything is just great! We stayed at the Best Western Hôtel Carlton located on 5 Rue des Glières. Everything was truly within walking distance from this hotel, so you should think about this when booking a night or two in Annecy. […]

OKTOBERFEST 2013!
OH, SO MUCH FUN! LOTS OF PEOPLE! TRADITIONS! GREAT FOOD! BEER… LOTS OF BEER!!! OKTOBERFEST! It all started in 1810 when Crown Prince Ludwig I married Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen. Their wedding took place in what is known today Oktoberfest, in Theresiewiesen, a large open space named after, yep, you’re right…Therese of Bavaria. Unfortunately, their marriage […]
It’s like going back in time…
When you visit Riquewihr… SO BEAUTIFUL! Riquewihr is a small medieval village located in the region of Alsace, France. It’s well known for their half-timbered houses, the cobblestone streets, and let’s not forget that Alsace produces excellent wine! Riquewihr, like the many other villages in the area, are surrounded by the Alsatian vineyards that produce […]
Altstadt Luzern…
The beautiful and charming…LUCERNE, SWITZERLAND You know, a lot of people tell me, they love Bern. I really want to visit it. Still, I haven’t gone. It’s not far from where I live. I just haven’t gone, at least not yet. I keep choosing Lucerne over Bern. It’s not a matter of […]
Pure Randomness…
I just added a new page to my website. It’s called “52 weeks…” Every Sunday of the week, (that’s today!) I will post something random about, well, you guessed it…something random. I normally like to write articles under “Stories Told Here” blog. That’s why I created this page…in case you where wondering why. Besides, there […]
A weekend full of “Gaukler”
At The Lenzburger Gauklerfestival FUN! Since 1993, The Lenzburger Gauklerfestival takes place around mid-August, right in the Alt Stadt in Lenzburg, Switzerland. Traveling artists from all over the World come and show their artistic talents and tricks to the Public. Some would perform a skit, some would create a comedy act, others would present a […]
Safe and Sound
It happened yesterday… I had some relatives that came to visit me in Switzerland. They live in the Netherlands so, truly it was a special visit. And so I decided to take them to Lenzburg which is the next town next to where I live, plus it has a cool “Schloss” (Castle) that I thought […]
ASCONA…I miss you already!
I must confess… When I booked my trip to Locarno I wasn’t really into visiting ASCONA. I was more like…”if I can’t find a hotel in Locarno, I’ll stay in Ascona and drive daily to Locarno”…way of thinking. Well guess what? I stayed in Locarno and drove everyday to ASCONA for the beach, sightseeing and […]
Locarno…I heart u!
IN LAGGO MAGGIORE…. Just came back from visiting the southern region of Switzerland, TICINO! Everyone was right! It is beautiful. Even our drive had awesome views. Check it out! We first stopped here on our way to Locarno! Gorgeous views! It was such a sweet ride all the way to Locarno…until you have to return […]
Just a short note….
I’m on my way to Locarno to have a basking and summery time, right?…if only this major Thunderstorm would pass by quicker so that I can get on the road. But as soon as it gets better, I’ll head out. So be on the look out for the next couples of days for I will […]
Zürich
The largest city in Switzerland…Zürich! I LOVE ZÜRICH 🙂 I’ve been to Zürich more than a few times. In fact, I’ve been to Zürich many many times, even if it was just for the train ride to get to the Central Station where I can shop their Underground Mall. It has everything you need! […]
Altstadt Tübingen…
Never heard of Tübingen? Well, guess what? Me either…until now. Tübingen, Germany is about 2 1/2 hours from Othmarsingen, Switzerland, southwesterly located in the region of Baden, Germany, or 1/2 hour from Stuttgart. It’s a beautiful old university town with lots of half-timbered houses to just stare at and take pictures of. All the […]
