It’s truly a one-of-a-kind town and we were lucky enough to stay at a guesthouse up in the enchanting hills surrounding Sarajevo when we were there. We made it a point to spend our afternoons watching the sun set over Sarajevo listening to …

Drinking In Europe: Witkap Pater Stimulo

Travelly Picture: Bavarian Forest
When many of us think of Germany, what we are really thinking of is the German state of Bavaria. It’s the land of lederhosen and beer gardens and all that other good stuff. We were lucky enough to watch a wonderful house in a traditional Bavarian village full of wooden chalet-style houses with windowsill flower …
