Well, It’s an Adventure

Posted on September 3, 2018September 3, 2018by Peter Kraiker

As we expected this trip has already turned into an adventure. Today is our 6th day on the road. Closing in on the end of week 1 of 10. It’s been tough to find time to write about the adventure as we’ve been living it. So this will likely be a terse tale. It’s almost […]

Dream Big, Then Go Home?

Posted on August 18, 2018August 19, 2018by Peter Kraiker

This dream has been in the works for about a year. It almost went off the rails and didn’t. It’s something we’ve never done before and hey… who knows how it will go! It’s happening though. Andrea and I are set to go on an extended road trip. Look out world! Well… look out U.S.A. […]

The Victoria and Albert Museum

Posted on April 30, 2017April 30, 2017by Peter Kraiker
V&A archway

A Facebook comment from a friend welcoming us back and playfully asking for more photos from the V&A prompted me to put a gallery together. I’m publishing it here rather than only on FB. I’ve been neglecting my blog lately and this is a good reminder that I should be paying a little more attention […]

A Tour of Leica Camera AG

Posted on June 19, 2016June 20, 2016by Peter Kraiker
Frau Nussbaum

<Warning… long post!> This story likely started some time in 1950 when Ernst Leitz II and his sons decided to expand the Leitz Factory footprint beyond Wetzlar, Germany. I’ve read this had a lot to do with the destruction caused by the 2nd World War along with the threat posed by the Soviets. I wasn’t […]

Babe is Back, it Must be Spring

Posted on April 6, 2015April 6, 2015by Peter Kraiker

I didn’t have a chance to write up anything about getting my camper out of storage other than a quick post to Facebook. Let me fix that. Late last year we got together with our friends from Turbo Training Marilyn and Michael to see their new place and have dinner together. Yes, the same delightful […]

October In Vermont. Again!

Posted on October 5, 2014December 1, 2014by Peter Kraiker

I’m told we’re creatures of habit and I’m ok with that. Going to Vermont to enjoy the Autumn colours and some mountain biking for Canadian Thanksgiving is a habit I like and will happily be that creature for years to come. Andrea and I have been doing this longer than I’ve been keeping this blog. […]

Moab Trilogy Book 3: The Trip Back to Toronto

Posted on May 23, 2014December 1, 2014by Peter Kraiker

 When I was trying to decide how to write this final book of the trilogy, I started by thinking that it would be the least interesting to readers. It’s certainly just as full of adventure as the previous two books, in different ways though. So I’ll just keep writing and you can make of it […]

Fireworks

Posted on May 20, 2014December 1, 2014by Peter Kraiker

This being the first “summer” long weekend it’s been a classic weekend for fireworks, camping, and escape from hibernation… ” May two-four” (not because cases of beer come by the 24 as some people seem to think!). Sitting here listening to fireworks brings a handful of thoughts to mind so I’ll just rattle them off […]

Moab Book 2: Being There

Posted on May 10, 2014December 1, 2014by Peter Kraiker

I feel like like I skipped over so many things along the way to summarizing the first part of the trip… how the weather was (soooo much better than it had been when I left TO), what it felt like to be on the road (and on the road alone)… I am really getting to […]
