Sunsets at the Adriatic Sea
I just got back from Croatia where I went for many walks along the Adriatic Sea, looking at the sunset and thinking back on the history of these waters. The eastern shore of the sea, which is today Croatia, was once inhabited by Illyrians.
Sweet days in Lisbon
It’s currently a scorching 30 degrees in Lisbon, the capital of Portugal. We’ve been trying to escape the heat by all means necessary, which would include beaches and sweets.
Port wine in the Douro Valley
Today I’m in Porto, the birthplace of port wine in northern Portugal. The Alto Douro wine country is the oldest demarcated wine region on the planet and even the Romans made wine on the banks of the Douro river.
Review: A Sense of Place
This little gem has unfortunately been collecting dust on my shelf for a decade since I found it by accident on a sunny morning in San Francisco. There was a time before internet bookstores, when I bought a lot of books at physical bookstores.
Lazy days in Lucerne
After spending time in Swiss cities such as Zürich and Bern, the town of Luzern surprisingly turns out to be the prettiest of them all. It feels more like a town in northern Italy than one in Switzerland.
Dead Can Dance in Zürich
After arriving at the train station of Zürich, we went along the Limmatquai to Nachtflug for a quick amber. Then it was finally time to cross the Limmat river and head to Kongresshaus for the eagerly awaited concert with Dead Can Dance.
Wazzup in Vaduz
So what’s up in Liechtenstein these days? Not much, it seems. With a population of 35000, this country is one of the smallest there is.

As announced today by its creator Dave Shea, the CSS Zen Garden has reached the venerable age of ten years. When I first saw that site back in 2003, I was blown away by the possibilities of CSS.
The Knife in Munich
The Swedish band The Knife were all the rage a few years back. Their 2006 album Silent Shout was one of my favorites that year and received universal acclaim.
