I had a busy day and a half in Germany, but it was a great bookend to my summer and a lovely time with my children in a land that I deeply love.
After a long journey from Los Angeles to Basel via Chicago and London, I arrived in time for dinner…we ate at an Italian restaurant my father-in-law likes, since it was too late to go to my favorite steakhouse (details here from my spring trip).
When we got home, my daughter Claire Marie went to bed and my son Augustine and I took a walk up to the top of the Tüllingen Mountain. From the church at the top, you can look out over the valley and see France to your right, Switzerland straight ahead, and Germany to your left. It’s a beautiful part of Europe and a place I hope to spend a lot more time one day.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
