On the recommendation of a friend, we added the charming town of Prien am Chiemsee to our pre-Christmas German/Austrian trip itinerary.

Christmas in Bavaria: Munich Highlights
Mr. TWS and I are very excited about our German/Austrian trip to kickoff the holiday season. Jetlagged as we were after arriving in Munich the other day, we ventured out into the heart of Old Town to soak up the Christmas spirit with great food and drink in a beautiful European setting as a light snow fell.

Barcelona: Scenes from Eixample
I’ve been back from Spain for a month and a half, but I’m still thinking about the cities, the sea, the food and the people! Many of you have already seen my postcards from Girona, snapshots of Madrid, posts about Barcelona’s “Block of Discord”, Catalonian wine country and more. For Travel Photo Thursday, I want to share some photos of Barcelona’s Eixample Disrict, the heart of the city’s “raux i seny” design culture and most of its Moderniste architecture.
Featured Museum: The California Story
The Oakland Museum of California (OMCA) showcases the state’s history of attracting newcomers from early explorers to recent immigrants, as well as chronicling the lives of the native people who were here before them. OMCA also presents California’s influence in the world, significant events, art, and natural sciences. There’s something for everybody — native Californians, newcomers, and visitors.
Barcelona’s Block of Discord
Passeig de Gràcia is Barcelona’s grand avenue of elegant shops, upscale hotels and Moderniste architectural gems exuding the Eixample district’s “la rauxa i el seny” design culture…..What came as more of a surprise was Illa de la Discòrdia.
