The strawberry lady worked in the strawberry-shaped hut along the pier at Warnemünde, a German port town on the Baltic Sea. There was a festival atmosphere all along the long walk of the pier to the quant village! She was just waiting for someone to step up and buy! If you would like to share…

Square Up: Day 26, Coffee and Candelabra!
Becky’s Square Challenge is encouraging us to be UPLIFTING in the month of January! Coffee can always lift you UP! Just the aroma of brewing coffee gives me a lift!

Six on Saturday in Kristiansand, Norway: Again
Good Mornin’ SOS’ers! We’re still in Kristiansand, Norway, so let’s get a look at what I think makes for a great entrance to a new city….. When you first approach a city, whether by ship or road, does it look appealing? Is there a welcome sign? Is the sight clean or dirty? Is their something…
The Walk to Otterdalsparken, Kristiansand, Norway
We’ve made into the port at Kristiansand and I am loving this place! I’ve divided the city up into four distinct sections; the wharf and port area, the beach and condo area, the main square and shopping area, and the neighborhoods. My, we have a lot more to see, so we had better get a…
Sunny Side Up In Copenhagen
What a difference a half hour can make! This morning we arrived in Copenhagen and if you want to see how our day started, look HERE! It was pouring down rain……. Even with rain coats and umbrellas, we were soaked through and looked like mangy dogs, I am sure….. So far, we had seen two…
Rainy Day in Copenhagen Edition
The Dark and Rainy side of Copenhagen……. Lesson learned………….Always TAKE an Excursion offered by the Cruise Ship, EXPLORER.

A Day In the Life, Warnemunde, Germany
One of the highlights for me, on my visit in Warnemunde, was the Living History Museum. I am very interested in family history and looking into the way other people live. This fisherman’s cottage dates to 1767 and presents the way of life for many of these villagers over the years. There is also a…
The Cottages of Warnemunde, Germany
Leaving “the Teepott,” we are headed to the main shopping area of Warnemunde, but my thoughts are on the little fisherman’s cottages that are everywhere! You can see how wide the street is here. I didn’t see one car, so I think the village is pedestrian only. Or, maybe there are no cars because it…
