Break in the action

Well, it’s been a busy summer so far, but actually a lot LESS busy than the last few.  I’m not saying there aren’t a lot of tourists or tours, just that I haven’t been that busy myself.

This week is a very odd break in the action.  There’s no real reason for it other than that’s how the schedule happened and I don’t have any private tours this week.  So, I’ve got 6 days in a row off.  Kinda odd.  Not bad necessarily, but if I have 6 days off I would prefer my wife to have 6 days off too, so that we can do something more interesting than rollerblading in the olympic park.

Technically, it’s 4pm and I just watched an episode of Quantum Leap.  Soon I’ll have to take off, because in the afternoons our apartment is about 20 degrees warmer than the outside air temp.  Outside today, it’s 84F, so in the apartment, it should be 100F and miserable.  I’m hoping our axolotls don’t boil!

I took some pictures from Salzburg tours last week, but still haven’t posted them.  Maybe later…

If you’re still reading this, I have a question for you:  Based off of Wikipedia, which tour would you rather do:  Augsburg or Landshut?

July

I think I’ve gotten my groove back as far as summer tours go, June was wishy-washy as far as I could tell.  I’m always trying to do the best tour, but my approach is constantly evolving, for better or worse.

As far as my last post goes, I’m using Flock still to update this, but the pic didn’t work out so well…and I’m not sure exactly what I’m going to do about it…as I like to add pics.  I might have to go back to w.bloggar after all.  Well, maybe just type the width and height into the source, I just like to cut-n-paste and not really think about pics…oh well.

Touring…non-stop

Well, I’ve been rather quiet on here (other than twitter) lately mainly because I’ve been busy with tours.  Mostly back and forth between Neuschwanstein and Salzburg.  The train situation for Neuschwanstein really sucks this year (no end in sight), but I’ve been making it work so far.
Weekends down at Neuschwanstein are absolute hell, so if you’re reading this and you’re a tourist…avoid the weekend down there.  The weekdays have been moving along smoothly, but because of the train situation we have about 45min less time there which really limits things.  At the same time, who wants a 12+ hour tour?

Anyways, the weather has been all over the place lately, but for some reason I’m okay with that.

More beer people, it helps.
