Lily surfed my couch for a few days in late August 2017. We took a small road trip over the weekend: Black Forrest, Switzerland, for a beer, France, and back again. We stopped in Belfort for the night, and I stayed in the Brit Hotel Belfort Black Forrest Calw Calw Freudenstadt Movelier Quick beer stop…
Today we drove from Sainte-Menehould over Navarin and Sainte-Menehould to Nancy with a few stops on the way.

A few weeks after my short trip to the US I was very happy to go on a short trip to France for a few days. I had no exact plan, only a hotel booked towards Bitche. When I saw a war monument from the First World War, I had the idea to look around…

I killed your child I kill you too I kill you fish Oh Boy!! Yes – i do not understand this piece of art!
