Sometimes a ride just comes, and sometimes you must wait for the right one to finally arrive. Synchronization of the serendipitous moment. This time we had to wait. It’s not like this was the busiest highway.

(38) Our First Castle
“Look, there’s a castle.”
Donna excitedly said, “We’ve never actually seen a castle before! Being from America, we just don’t have them!”
(37) Tom & Jerry, and two Bath Tubs
Like the famous cartoon cat and mouse. The twins wore Tom & Jerry t-shirts, Tom & Jerry backpacks for school. They had Tom & Jerry socks and probably underwear!
(36) Dragons, Games & Munich
Germany has public transport down to a tee. The train ride to Munich was comfortable with its plush seats and tables. We watched the lovely green countryside rush by as the coach rocked ever so gently from side to side, with occasional stops at stations along the way. Even the cities and towns held attractive…
(35) Stuttgart, Rembrandt, and Russians
Stuttgart is an attractive metropolitan city with parks, museums, and a bustling walking street. We were primed and ready to get out and make some money busking. Remembering what our Luxembourg busking teachers taught us, we took in the lay of the land. The walking street was active, with people shopping and scurrying about, so…
(34) A Smashing BeginningÂ
After a few days of enjoying Luxembourg and the luxurious campgrounds, we felt we were over our initial jet lag. We are ready to begin our European journey.

(33) Busking, Camping and the Bock
Our busking teachers had told us the best places to busk is “wherever the money is.” That made sense. Donna saw a jewelry store on a corner with a big window full of sparkly diamonds and luxurious jewelry. “There’s our spot!” She proclaimed. She was right! Being on a corner, we were catching foot traffic…
(32) Luxembourg City
Continuing our adventure, we hopped into the taxi at the airport that took us to a campground we found in the Lonely Planet Guide book. Checking in at the campgrounds, the receptionist showed us the facilities; toilets, showers, water, waste receptacles, etc., and a spot for setting up our three-person tent amongst all the enormous…
(31) Flight to Luxembourg
Although a relatively comfortable flight on Icelandair, restricted to one space for hours is uncomfortable. When flying great distances across the Ocean, you are stuck in one place. We were sitting in seats A and B, meaning the window and a middle seat. The in-flight meal was pretty good, but nothing to write home about….
(30) Leaving On A Jet Plane
We kept building up our finances and building my repertoire of songs. We had the idea that we would finally try playing on the street for tips. The only problem was I didn’t think I could sing. In all the bands I was in, somebody else was the singer. Early on, the singers, full of…
