The Great English Roadtrip: The Final Part

We were a bit loath to leave London, but ready to drive into the final legs of our roadtrip. Bidding farewell to the city, we drove on to Canterbury, England. Canterbury, England A long desired location on my bucket list, there was no way I was going to leave England without stopping through. It was…

Castle Chronicles: Dover Castle

On the final leg of our Great English Roadtrip, we made a stop in Dover on our journey from Canterbury to Folkestone to catch the train under the channel. Our crossing from France had been too foggy to see the White Cliffs, so I wanted to revisit the port town. I’m so glad we did…

Zwei Jahre

One thing I know for sure about myself is that I’m a dweller. And in that nature, I have been one of those that takes a moment to reflect on the prior year, as well as the year ahead. Reflect is probably the wrong word. What I really do is sit and marinate in stormy…

Well, Schwarzwald, you quickly became my new favorite place in Germany. Sweet @lla320 let me drag her around an open air museum; up a steep but short climb to a waterfall; and patiently waited while I dig through boxes of shirts so I could get an angry gnome stamped on it. I’ll be back Black Forest. But for now Auf Wiedersehhhheeeeen. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CsLsqAKolmM/ 25€ for all this meat. About $27. I love Europe. It would appear I’ve been a bit neglectful in my updates on T. Friday was a good day. He felt well enough so we took mom and Kevo to another new country (for them): Luxembourg. Saturday morning we had slight setback. He wasn’t feeling great when he woke up for his meds, then vomited again, but just the once, so we kept an eye on him the rest of the weekend. Monday he was cleared by the surgeon (with a low threshold to return) and took his last doses of oral antibiotics. The CT/labs weren’t repeated because Tristan wasn’t feeling pain, afebrile, and said he was feeling better. He’s lost quite a bit of weight between the vomiting and lack of appetite, but he’s slowly gaining his appetite back. He says he doesn’t feel 100% better yet. He’s exhausted but ready to get back to normal. We’d talked about venturing out this weekend since we didn’t get much of a spring break, but decided to lay low and keep recuperating. We are so thankful to everyone that checked in on us, brought us food, and more importantly, decent coffee, while he was in the hospital. We’ve acquired ourselves a wonderful little chosen family here and we are so grateful! It was also really convenient that @dean.c.king & Kevo were here to hold the fort down and take Lily on 1848755 walks a day. I’m sad we didn’t get to go to Greece, but that just means they have to come back. ♥️
