  • These Three Went to the Market

    Hi Gram!My legs are still sore from the gym a few days ago. We decided not to climb Tampa, the tall hill in town, until tomorrow. Instead, it was a slow morning of sleeping in a little, doing some yoga, and eating breakfast. Then we took a bus over to the market where we bought…

  • No Mushrooms

    Hi Gram!I’m really loving Brasov. The town is very walkable, the people are friendly, it has an old world charm, and we discover new things every day. I woke and did my puzzles and journal, then Amber and I headed to the gym. Today was upper body day and I felt like I got a…

  • Brunch Day

    Hi Gram!Some days I feel like a race car driver, speeding through my tasks. Some days I feel like a hamster, just spinning my wheel and getting nowhere. Today, I crossed the finish line in record time! I got up before my alarm, did my puzzles, and headed to the gym. It was leg day…

  • Pickled Watermelon

    Hi Gram!Today was a roller coaster of a day! I woke up and felt good, did my journaling and puzzles, then Amber and I went to the gym. We joined today, then I did a good upper body workout. We walked home and had breakfast. With such a positive start to the day, I was…

  • Romanian Walking Tour

    Hi Gram!What a fun day. I slept well and woke with my alarm. After doing my puzzles and journaling, I walked the building stairs and got ready for the day. Once Amber and Bob returned from their morning walk, we all had breakfast, cleaned up and headed out for our walking tour. Diana, our tour…

  • Hello, Braşov!

    Hi Gram!I just woke up in Romania, the train rumbling along. I slept better than expected. Almost 9 hours have passed since I boarded the train. I converted the bed to seats and it reminds me of what a salesman once told my family about hide-a-bed couches – they’re not great beds and they’re not…

  • Buh-Bye, Budapest

    Hi Gram!It’s moving day again! I slept well last night but woke before my alarm, excited for the days ahead. After a morning walk, puzzles and journal I packed everything up extra tight so I could get by with as little weight on my back as possible. I fit almost everything into the roller suitcase.…

  • Budapest Better

    Hi Gram!I woke up in a better mood today. This room, despite being poorly furnished and small, had 2 redeeming qualities. It was very dark and very quiet! I got up, did my usual puzzles, stairs, and breakfast, then went for a walk. The city was beautiful so early in the morning. There was almost…

  • Bratislava Good. Budapest Meh.

    Hi Gram!I slept so soundly last night! That was probably my best sleep in the past few weeks. The bed was really comfortable, the blankets had a good weight, the room was cool, quiet and dark. Refreshed, I found my way out of bed after my journal and puzzles, then did my morning exercises and…

  • Bratislava

    Hi Gram!Today was a bit of a lazy morning. I can’t check into the hotel in Bratislava until afternoon, which is only 2 hours away. Therefore, I decided to linger at the Vienna apartment for the morning. I had breakfast, did my morning exercises and puzzles, and finished packing. A little Google search showed me…
