This past Friday, Crystal and I were out in Edmonton, and needed to find lunch. We made our way to Barb and Ernie’s, a favourite German restaurant of ours, and managed to get a seat before they closed. They have odd hours and are usually very busy, so we were happy to make it there. It was mid-afternoon, and I hadn’t eaten at all that day. I ordered the German Sausage Combo, … [Read more...] about Edmonton German Restaurant – Barb and Ernie’s

Ramp Over Canal – Samut Sakhon, Thailand
On Saturday I took my motorcycle out for a long ride to Samut Sakhon, an area we have been exploring a bit recently.
