We recently got home from a fabulous long weekend in Paris, but I’ve been putting off blogging about it because I can’t think of anything to say. I mean, I could tell you about what we did, saw, and ate, but none of it seems particularly insightful, entertaining, or original. But hey, that doesn’t stop … Read more
If you haven’t already, go see the amazing Kandinsky exhibit at the Lenbachhaus. It’s only in Munich through February 22nd, after which it travels to Paris and New York (but without the Blaue Reiter show that’s here in Munich with it). Give yourself plenty of time to see both buildings.

Just when you think you’ve discovered all the groovy things about Munich, something new comes along. Like skating on frozen canals in front of a palace. Which is pretty much the coolest thing ever. OK, one of them. Half of Munich seemed to be out on the Schloss Nymphenburg canals today, skating, walking, and playing … Read more
It seems like it has been Christmas forever here in Munich, what with the markets starting in late November and all. Yesterday finally marked the end of the season with Three Kings Day (also known as the 12th day of Christmas, not that I noticed any particular increase in drumming), which is a holiday here … Read more
