We’ve managed to round up a list of some smaller-scale events happening near U.S. bases. Keep an eye out for last-minute cancellations, and of course, follow the latest guidance from your command:
Garmisch-Partenkirchen
All mountains are beautiful, but there’s something extra magical about the Dolomites in northern Italy. Their sheer rock faces, towering pinnacles and jagged limestone peaks give them a look like no other. Although considered part of the Alps, the Dolomites are shaped differently.
It’s important to be open-minded as you search for your new home. Italian homes are much different, smaller and older than what you may be used to. Although the outside of an Italian home may seem a bit run down or small, always go in and take a look inside.
There’s nothing quite like enjoying an ice cream cone or a berry-filled dessert while the sun’s rays beat down in the summer. The icy-cold deliciousness is just so refreshing!
There is nothing like a stroll or a brisk hike in the woods to clear the mind and recharge the soul. The word ‘hiking’ might bring up visions of overly stuffed backpacks, walking for hours on end and fighting every bug imaginable.
German homes may not be free-standing and may lack some amenities, such as garages or backyards. Rooms, hallways and stairwells are smaller, and some homes may not have closets or cabinets in the bathrooms and kitchens.
GETTING STARTED
Nestled on the southwestern French-Belgian border in a bend of the Semois River is the delightful town of Bouillon, Belgium. Surrounded by the Ardennes Forest, the town sprawls beneath the brooding Castle of Bouillon.
Stay-at-home evenings might have become the new normal, but that doesn’t mean each and every one of them has to revolve around the same old drill. On the hunt for a new activity to share amongst a small circle of friends that doesn’t involve the TV or the grill?
So you’d fantasized your time spent stationed in Germany would be a wonderful springboard to exploring all of Europe. That was prior to 2020, when the world revealed it had other plans for you.
In an age when the practice of writing letters to the editor is a dying art, writers and editors are still encouraged to hear from readers with personal stories as to how their newspaper has proved a positive influence in one’s life.
Bargain hunters and savvy shoppers dream of deep discounts and deals. In Germany, outlet malls may be the answer to finding the sales and similar stores otherwise found in the States. Bargains abound, but do outlets meet the high expectations of shoppers?
The run-up to Christmas can be a hectic time of year, but in the midst of amassing the items on a beloved’s wish list and visiting one’s umpteenth Christmas market comes a chance to completely shift gears.
Major League Baseball first came to London in June of 2019 with two games played between the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees. (For the record, the Yankees won both games).
Halloween shenanigans aren’t just an American thing anymore. Over the past few decades, the creeptacular holiday has made its way across the pond and infiltrated European towns and cities.
Hands down, Halloween is one of my favorite seasons of the year. I label it a season as the scary movies start popping up on Netflix at the beginning of Oct., pumpkins burn orange in the fields, and amusement parks turn into Halloween wonderlands.
