Local. Shoplocal. Buylocal. Stay local.

We hear these

phrases all the

time, but are they

really so important? Absolutely.

Supporting the local economy is

one way we can help our neighbors

and fellow business owners, especially

in this economic recovery period. It

can also give you a chance to check

out that restaurant, shop or attraction

just down the road that youve always

wanted to go in but never have.Each month we strive to bring

ideas of the fun you can have right

in your own backyard. We believe

wholeheartedly that there is so much

to do out there if you simply take the

time to look for it. Oregon is full of

unknown travel destinations that are

waiting to become your new favorites.

The other way we keep our

magazine local is to feature stories

about local

residents and their

adventures. We

do understand

traveling outside

of Oregon and

the wonderful

memories those

experiences can create.

We view our magazine as a

way to honor our neighbors by

highlighting their perspective on theworld around us. Whether someone

travels to another state or to a distant

country, their experience and rsthand

knowledge can become a learning

opportunity for others. Learning from

others, in any facet of life, is a great

way to broaden our own horizons and

add to our knowledge base.

The other goal we have with this

publication is to bring the world to

our readers. Not

everyone can

travel everywhere,

so the stories

we share are an

avenue to bring

you to those

places you might

not otherwise get the chance to see.

Use our articles to take a mental

vacation from the comfort of your

living room.No matter what your motivation

for reading this magazine, I hope you

nd the stories about local places and

local travelers just as intriguing as we

do.

Have you ever stumbled acrosssomething in life and you wonderhow you ever survived without it? That

is exactly how we feel about Caravan

Coffee in Newberg.

Caravan Coffee is a full-service

roastery which produces high-quality

coffee and espresso. Around Newberg,

you can order a cup at Underground

Cafe & Coffeehouse, The Painted

Lady and Subterra. For the total coffee

experience, however, I would suggest

visiting their facility.

When we arrived, the owner, Pete

Miller, and the marketing intern, JenKnutson, were more than willing to

give us a tour. We got to see burlap

bags full of green coffee beans

stacked against the wall. There were

also beans in plastic bins waiting to

be processed which have a grassy

fragrance.

Upon conclusion of the tour we

had the pleasure to see roastmaster,

Paul Allen, roasting coffee beans to

perfection in their traditional small

batch drum roaster. Seeing the various

stages coffee goes through before it

makes it into my cup gave me a new

appreciation for those tiny brown

beans.

If you want to take some coffee

to go (and believe me, you will), the

tasting room hostess, Jeannie Roy-

Lewis, will give you a complimentary

taste of whatever coffee they have

brewed that day. You can alsopurchase a 12-ounce cup for $1, or get

a fresh pour of any of their varieties of

roasted coffee beans for only $1.50.

And dont forget to buy a bag of beans

for continual enjoyment at home.

The pinnacle of our experience at

Caravan Coffee came, however, with

our rst cupping. If youve never been

to a cupping youre missing out on a

fantastic learning opportunity. They

taught us the proper way to smell and

taste the coffee to pick out the distinct

fragrances, avors and acidity. At theend there was even a smell test to see if

anyone could identify the Guatemalan

and Sumatran coffees we had been

sampling. I am happy to report that my

mom was the only one to ace the test.

When I think of Keizer, thebig, pink hotel is often therst thing that comes to my mind.

And if I think about Keizer in May,

my second thought is of owers.

The pink hotel I am referring to

is, of course, Keizer Renaissance

Inn; the owers would be those

of the Iris Festival. If you are

planning to visit Keizer anytime

in the near future, I would suggestgoing during the month of May so

as not to miss out on the annual

festivities.

In May, there are endless

activities surrounding the Iris

Festival that will make your trip

to Keizer unforgettable. From

art shows to display gardens atSchreiners Iris Gardens to the

carnival and parade, there is

something for the whole family.

For more information and a

schedule of events, visit www.

irisfestival.com.

If youre really in the mood

to enjoy all the Iris Festival has

to offer, make a weekend out of it

and stay at the only hotel in town,

Keizer Renaissance Inn. They offer86 spacious rooms, complimentary

continental breakfast and rates as

low as $70 per night.

Keizer wasnt incorporated as

a city until 1982, but their motto

of pride, spirit and volunteerism

is a deep-seated tradition that has

helped to create a warm communityenvironment. The business owners

and residents we met during a

recent visit were friendly and kind-

hearted.

The rst stop on our trip was

the Keizer Heritage Community

Center. Housing a museum, art

gallery, library and visitor center,

this was the perfect place to begin

our journey through Keizer.

The Chamber of Commerce andVisitor Center is full of pamphlets

and yers about the city to help

point you in the right direction, and

their knowledgeable staff is sure

to give you the inside scoop on the

best places to visit.

7/24


Armed with information and

ready to have some fun, we walkedacross the hallway to the Keizer

Heritage Museum. With an ever-

changing display of items loaned

or donated by local families,

the museum offers a historical

perspective on the culture of Keizer

and the surrounding area. We saw

everything from vintage clothing

to a player piano to a completely

furnished dollhouse.

Next stop in the building wasthe art gallery maintained by the

Keizer Art Association. Here we

were able to view exquisite pieces

by local artists and even cast our

votes for our favorites. Along with

changing art exhibits that will make

you want to keep coming back for

more, they also have a unique giftselection of prints, cards, jewelry,

carved pieces and fused glass for

sale. For all you art lovers out there

this is a must-see.

The Keizer community is

so creative, however, that they

couldnt contain all their artwork in

the gallery some of it has spilled

out onto the sidewalks. Combining

visual art and nature, Keizer Public

Arts has created the Keizer ArtWalk. You can walk, bike or drive

by the display of sculptures around

town. Our favorite was the Kids

on a Bench right outside of the

community center.

After thoroughly exploring

every inch of the community

center and getting tips on the bestplaces in town to visit, it was

time for a lunch break. One of the

recommendations which exceeded

our expectations was Carusos

Italian Caf.

Built on Staats Lake, the

owners of Carusos, Angie

and Jerry Phipps, designed the

restaurant so that every table has

a view of the water. To get the

best seats, however, they suggestmaking reservations (even though

we didnt we still had a great view)

I absolutely love Italian food

which means I am pretty easy to

please, but my mom has more of a

discerning palate. We ordered the

CarusosItalian Caf & Catering

Fall in Love with Italian!

Capellini del Campo ($10, plus

$3 to split), which is usually herdish of choice. I dont know what

special magic Jerry cooks up in the

kitchen, but my mom is willing to

go on record that this was the best

shes ever had. The combination of

angel hair pasta sauteed with garlic,

artichokes, mushrooms, pine nuts

and spinach was magnicent.

For dessert, we split the

Hazelnut Trufe Torte alla

Zabiglione ($6). My opinionis you cant go wrong with

chocolate ganache, but you can

certainly make it extra right. The

combination of the hazelnut crust

and Marsala wine custard sauce

was out of this world.

The greatest aspect of Carusos,

however, is their commitment toaffordable ne dining. With a lunch

special, reasonably priced dishes

and a childrens menu, you wont

want to pass up the opportunity to

make your taste buds and wallet

happy the next time youre in

Keizer by dining at Carusos.

After a great Italian meal, what

could be better than, say, bowling?

We couldnt think of anything, so

Town & Country Lanes was theclear choice to throw some strikes,

spares, and yes, Im big enough

to admit, a few gutter balls. But

its not whether you win or lose,

its how quickly you can make

everyone forget how bad your

score was (or something like that).

For me, bowling brings backfond memories of big groups of

friends and having fun. Plus you

get to wear those dashing shoes

that compliment any outt. While

at Town & Country Lanes we were

able to add to my pleasant bowling

memories without putting a huge

dent in the fun fund. Monday

through Friday until 6 p.m. adults

pay $3 per game and $2.50 for

shoes rentals a great bargain forone of my favorite pastimes.

Our nal destination before

heading home was the Willamette

We have indulged in their pies,

were excited to learn we could now

get them directly from the source.Along with freshly-baked

mufns and scones, and a large

milkshakes available at Willamette

watch their famous pies being made

like a fresh marionberry mini pie

unless its eating it for dinner which I did.

On the drive back home we

decided to end our trip to Keizer

with a ride on the Wheatland Ferry

($2 per vehicle; pedestrians and

bicycles are free). Although the

ferry ride only lasts a few minutes,

it is quite the sensation to travel

over the rushing waters of theWillamette River. Like everything

else we experienced in Keizer and

the surrounding areas, this too, left

us eagerly anticipating a return trip

in the near future.

Going on a famous bike ride loop is closer than you thinkby Jane Morlan

My veryfavoriteactivity is bicycle

riding. I discovered

my favorite place

to take a bike ride

while on vacation:

17-Mile Drive just outside of Carmel,

California. Even if youre not much of

a bicyclist, this ride is fairly easy to do

with only a few minor hills, and even

those are not too daunting.

The reason this is one of my

fondest memories is because of the

views. 17-Mile Drive is panoramic atalmost every turn. You do travel uphill

somewhat, but thats what makes this

bike ride so grand. The ocean view is

just everywhere and it is spectacular.

We started pedaling casually

uphill near the entrance to the area,

they do charge a car fee to drive

around the 17-mile loop, however,

bicyclists and pedestrians get in free at

the Pacic Grove gate.

The ascent was casual with not

too much trafc I was surprised at

how little car trafc there was. There

were fun twists and turns in the road

and each time we rounded a curve,

it seemed we were in for a view of

something pretty.

As we neared the top, you could

see for miles in every direction and the

ocean was glistening to greet us. Then

we began the descent.

Riding downhill has always givenme such a thrill and I have never been

afraid of it. So I wasnt too worried

as this downhill was as casual as the

uphill and I didnt feel out of control

at all. The descent was even more

beautiful because we were on the side

of the gorgeous ocean.

The whole bike ride didnt take

too long, either, I was actually a little

disappointed with how quickly the

time went by. In perhaps and hour and

a half, it was all over and I wanted

to do it again. It was truly the most

relaxing bike ride I have ever taken

even though we rode such a great

distance.

BUBS BREWSby Joshua Gerdes

Jesus may have turned waterinto wine but it was manthat turned water into beer.

And beer transcends water. Iwill also be so bold to state

it transcends wine. But fear

not, my beer readers, my

blasphemy will go no further

as I need not bring total

condemnation upon myself;

for man is not better than

Jesus: the bible story clearly

states his only ingredient was water.

Which brings me to my thesis statement: whats in

beer, or rather how do you to turn water into beer? Nicesegue, huh?

First of all, youre going to need some water. Now,

that may seem trivial, but I wouldnt have brought it up if

it was. Water selection has an immense impact on a beers

avor. And you might think that mineral-free pure water

would be perfect as there isnt anything in there to taint

the beer; the truth is that mineral-free water is typically the

worst choice a brewer can make.

Water must have minerals in it to work well with beer.

Different minerals have different consequences some

good, some bad but different beers call for different

minerals. And minerals like copper and zinc are often usedby brewers to keep the yeast healthy.

So now you know: water matters. If youve got your

water, next you need your malted barley. Malted barley is

barley that has been sprouted under a controlled process

and then is put into a kiln to dry and toast the sprouted

grain. Different durations of kilning will bring out different

avors and colors.

Once youve selected the right malted barley, you crush

it and mix it in hot water. Sugars begin to form and soon

enough youll have what is called wort think of it as

malted barley tea. Once the barley tea has been heated

for some time, a process that requires skillful temperature

control, the liquid has to be separated from the gunk. Now

your wort is ready for hops.

Hops come in many varieties and choosing the

appropriate hops takes a lot of skill. Hops are most known

to add bitterness, but also contribute to aroma, citrus

avors, spiciness, and more. Once you have your hops,

you bring the wort to a boil and add the hops in at various

stages during the boil. After that, the wort must be cooled

as quickly as possible and I do mean quickly.

Now the last key ingredient is added: yeast. And thats

when the magic happens. Yeast eats the sugars, creates the

carbon dioxide, and of course produces the alcohol. If you

have never seen beer fermenting, it is an amazing thing to

watch. As beer ferments it churns, sometimes violently, as

the yeast go to town and turn that wort into beer.

Of course, there are other ingredients and stages Iglossed over. But that is the basic gist of it. And who

knows, maybe Jesus turned water into wine instead of beer

because it was easier. Then again, maybe not.

Local Libationist

The last place Ihad expected tohave a conversation

about the difference between Oregon andCalifornia wine country was in a meeting

with the 401k guy who visits from out of

state once a year. I cant quite recall how

we got from what percentage is good for

a rst-time investor to wine experience

preferences, nonetheless, this is where

I had my rst encounter with a Napa

enthusiast.

This Napa enthusiast told me

how much he enjoyed the prestige

and presentation wineries displayed in

California, not to mention, the grand

estates themselves to showcase it all. Then

he asked me, When is Oregon going

to be like California? He continued by

saying that he enjoyed the wine in Oregon,

however, in some places he felt like he

was just walking into someones barn (and

he was) and the proprietor treats you like

they know you.

I smiled, knowing the feeling, and

then realized these were not compliments.

I answered his question quickly, rst of all

pointing out my opinion that Oregon does

not want to be California, and secondly,that California hasnt always been

California and was much like Oregon just

a few decades ago. Ive never forgotten

this conversation and have thought back

on it many times.

I made my rst trip to California wine

country (Napa specically) in March of

this year. And I will tell you my 401k

guy was right. There are grand estates

and an air of prestige and presentation.

There were movie stars so to speak and

real life castles it was Disneyland for

adults.

I spent a few days in Napa, spent

too much money, and ultimately wasnt

as impressed as I had hoped. This is not

to imply that it was all bad, or bad at all,

for that matter, just much different than

I am accustomed to. These grand estates

were, to me, what someones converted

barn was to the 401k guy, interesting but

uncomfortable.

Although I dont think that anywhere

in Napa is off the beaten path anymore,

we did nd ourselves on a trail theSilverado Trail, that is. It is along this

stretch of road that we happened upon

several wineries built more for comfort

and less for show. One in particular was a

winery called Paradux. Indoor and outdoor

seating of your choice with your ight

brought right to you, not to mention some

great wines, made for a comfortable place

I would surely visit again.

I would like to end by saying that

I am a rm believer in appreciating the

journey whether it be good, bad or neutral

New experiences are inherently good by

the nature of what they are. So whats the

point? The point is, no matter where you

hail from Oregon, California, Texas,

or New Jersey go out and experience

wine, period. Cheers!

Theres something for everyone in Ashlandby Gloria Johnson

Your next vacation need only be afew hours away from home. Thereis something for everyone in Ashland,

a charming college town in southern

Oregon.

This year the Oregon Shakespeare

Festival celebrates its 75th year with eleven productions

ranging from Shakespeare, heavy drama, light-hearted

comedy and even a musical. The season runs February 19

through October 31 with value-priced seats until May 30,

and again October 5 through 31: www.osfashland.org.

OSF isnt the only show in town. The Oregon Cabaret

Theatre is celebrating its 25th season. There is never a

dull moment at OCT with lively musical theatre, fabulous

dining and delectable desserts: www.oregoncabaret.com.You can also check out the Camelot Theatre Company

just ten minutes north in Talent: an intimate theatre

dedicated to producing affordable theatre experiences:

www.camelottheatre.org.

You wont go hungry in Ashland either. I never miss

a chance to eat at the Ashland Food Cooperative, just

two blocks from the center of town at 237 N. First Street.

You dont need to be a member to shop or to eat there.

Their salad bar is loaded with fresh organic selections

and their deli case will start your mouth watering. Stop

by their website before you go and see what latest events

and tastings are scheduled. Be sure to scroll down to nd

healthy e-saver coupons for money-saving deals: www.

ashlandfood.coop.

Recently I discovered the Peerless Restaurant, a lively

and sophisticated neighborhood restaurant in the Railroad

and Gallery District at 265 Fourth Street. The menu is

replete with affordable small plate selections to please

all palates, and the service is superb. My rst visit will

denitely not be my last: www.peerlessrestaurant.com.

For an afternoon pick-me-up or an after-theatre treat,

stop by the Yogurt Hut at 140 Lithia Way. You can build

your own nutritious concoction from many self-servefrozen yogurt avors, then top it all off from a choice of

thirty plus toppings. You pay by the ounce; trust me, it is

delicious: www.yogurthut.net.

Accommodations are available in all price ranges in

Ashland. In the heart of town the Ashland Springs Hotel is

splendid, elegant and inviting. The Columbia Hotel, old-

fashioned with period furniture and comfy reading areas

a long-time favorite for many is so reasonably priced it

isnt always easy to get a room during theatre season.

For a reasonably-priced stay consider the Ashland

Hostel at 150 N. Main. Access to the kitchen and bedding is

provided for $28 per night in the dorm room. Private rooms

and family rooms are also available with prices ranging

from $40 to $84 per night: www.theashlandhostel.com.

Ashland is full of eclectic boutiques, galleries and

shops. Visit the Ashland Saturday Market May through

October, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., in the parking lot at the corner of

Lithia Way and First Street. You will nd a wide selection

of unique, locally-handcrafted items for home and garden,

including creative woodwork, pottery, homemade soaps

and bath items, dried ower arrangements, quality artwork

and jewelry: www.ashlandchamber.com.

Lithia Park, in the hub of downtown, is 93 acres

of walking paths, duck ponds, tennis courts, sand pit

volleyball and emerald green lawns begging for a blanket,

a book, a picnic or a nap. From late June until early August

at 7:30 p.m. every Thursday evening, the Ashland City

Band performs free concerts. A variety of pre-concertentertainment begins at 6:45 p.m.

Just in case you want to add a little mystery to your

Ashland area trip, see if you can nd the house Vladimir

Nabokov lived in when he wrote the book Lolita, or in

which cemetery Erskine Caldwell is buried.

For those like me who want a good long walk or bike

ride, the Bear Creek Greenway is a corridor of public-

owned land that follows the lush Bear Creek streambed

from Ashland to Central Point. The greenway is spread out

over 600 acres of pristine southern Oregon landscape.

The Rogue Creamery is only a few blocks off exit 33 in

Central Point. This shop and creamery is family owned and

takes great pride in its award-winning handmade cheese.

Samples and good cheer are freely offered. The Annual

cheese festival takes place the third weekend in March each

year: www.oregoncheeseguild.org/OregonCheeseFestival.

What a unique and diverse place to visit. No wonder

my face breaks into a smile every time I drive south to

Ashland.

Impact your world through Compassion International

Five-year-old Evelin Perez lovesto sing. When she has free time,she likes to play with dolls or join

her friends in hide and seek. In short,

Evelin likes to do the kind of things

most ve-year-olds enjoy. But her life

is extremely different than the lives of

the ve-year-olds you likely know.

Evelin lives with her parents and

younger brother in a poor community

near the city of Sonsonate, El

Salvador. The family originally lived

in a small adobe house but, like so

many Salvadoran families, their home

was destroyed in the earthquakes that

devastated much of the country in

2001.On the site where their house

stood, they now dwell in a makeshift

structure of wood, tin, cardboard

and other materials they were able

to obtain at little or no cost. Since

Evelins mother, Martha, stays home

with her young children, the familys

only source of income is the small

salary her husband, Oscar, makes as

an automotive mechanics apprentice.

Martha explains the challenges

of the familys living situation:When it rains, we usually get wet,

she says, and we have problems

with getting drinking water here.

These circumstances leave the family

vulnerable to sickness and disease.

Evelins situation is challenging.

But fortunately she is registered at

Compassion El Salvadors Heraldos

del Rey Child Development Center

(ES-743). And thanks to a young

woman named Amy who lives in

Florida, Evelins circumstances are

not hopeless. Amy is a Compassion

sponsor. Evelins presence at the

center is possible because Amy in

Florida sends a monthly sponsorship

contribution especially for the little

girl.

At Heraldos del Rey, Evelin

along with close to 200 other

impoverished children receives

life-changing care and opportunities.

Offering instruction, guidance and

the love of God to the children whoattend the center, the dedicated staff

is making every effort to release them

from the spiritual, economic, social

and physical poverty that plagues their

lives. These workers are the hands and

feet for people like Amy who want to

make it possible for children in need

to break free from povertys vicious

cycle and dream of the future.

Martha Perez talks about how she

felt when Evelin was registered into

Compassions program and receivedAmy as her sponsor.

I thanked God, she says. I

felt very happy when I realized that

someone was interested in helping and

loving my daughter.

Because of the health concerns

she has for her family, Martha is

especially grateful that Evelins

sponsorship provides her with an

affordable way to receive medical

care. She is also hopeful as she

considers all the possibilities for her

daughters future.

When she grows up, there are a

number of things I envision for Evelin

Number one, I want her to be a good

Christian and I would love to see her

doing ministry somewhere. I also hope

she might have a professional career.

But most of all, I want her to still be

following God when shes grown.

Evelin is just one child out

of more than 13,500 children

Compassion serves in El Salvador andthere are over 500,000 others around

the world not to mention millions

more that Compassion has not reached

yet.

Watching Evelin play outside

the structure she calls home, you can

see she is an important reminder of

the incredible need for Compassions

ministry to children. But her mother

believes she is also a reason to not lose

faith and to anticipate the future.

I know that God certainly willhelp us through Compassion, Martha

says. This is a dream come true for

our lives.

For information on how you can

help support children like Evelin, visit

Change the life of a child... forever!For only $38 per month your

love will bring hope to a child

that will last a lifetime.

DearTravel on a Shoestring,

We gave your magazine to all of our

members at the Pear Blossom Festival, took

some to our Chamber of Commerce ofce,

and then gave out the rest at our Pear a Fare

wine tasting event.

Everyone loved your magazine! They

were ghting over the last few as they have

so much information in them. It is such a

beautiful magazine. Thank you!

Since opening its doors in 1997, The Reserve Vineyardsand Golf Club has built a legacy that is virtuallyunmatched in Oregon Golf. Host to the wildly popular Fred

Meyer Challenge (1998 2002) and the PGA Champions

Tour Major, the JELD-WEN Tradition (2003 2006), TheReserve has developed a rich history in a very short period

of time. This is evident when one walks through the front

doors of the 40,000 square foot chateau-style clubhouse.

Perched above the replace that greets all guests is a

reminder of all the Major champions who have walked

the fairways of The Reserve names such as Jack

Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, Tom Watson, Annika

Sorenstam... the list goes on and on. It is a testament to the

The Reserves commitment in bringing world-class golf to

the state of Oregon and the Pacic Northwest.

In addition to its substantial event history, the 36-hole

facility offers a playing experience that is inclusive forall who love the game of golf. The Reserves two courses

operate under a unique format that provides daily fee golfers

with access to both courses, while maintaining privacy of

play for The Reserves membership. The South Course is

available for play by daily fee golfers from the rst through

the 15th of each month, while The North Course is available

to members and their guests. The courses then switch roles

and The North Course opens to daily fee golfers and The

South Course switches to members and their guests from the

16th through the end of the month.

Our rotating course format is likely the single most

unique aspect of our facility, says Chris Rogers, PGA

Director of Golf. The opportunity for members and daily

fee players to share the experience of each golf course

provides the best of both worlds for all who visit The

Reserve.

After playing a round at The Reserve, golfers and

food enthusiasts are invited to dine in The Vintage Room

Restaurant & Bar, known by many in the Portland area

as The Westsides Best Kept Secret. Specializing in

local fare, the Vintage Room offers an extensive wine list,

featuring many of the Willamette Valleys most notable

labels. With daily specials, one will never grow tired ofdining in The Vintage Room. The restaurant is open to the

public seven days a week for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Reservations are not required, but appreciated.

Golf Club, please visit www.reservegolf.com or call (503)

by Eleasah Gerdes

One of my favoriteaspects of attendingcollege at George Fox

University was the chanceto participate in the

Juniors Abroad program

at the end of my junior

year. When my admission

counselor informed me

that I could spend three

weeks visiting another

country and receive

college credits for it, I

knew George Fox was the

place for me.Looking back on it,

my Juniors Abroad trip

from Paris to Prague

sparked my love for

travel. Instead of sharing

everywhere we went and

everything we did although all the places we visited were

memorable I thought I would just touch on my favorites.

If you ever nd yourself with a few weeks in Europe, these

are the places you wont want to miss.

FrncEiffel Tower: I know it sounds cliche, but the Eiffel

Tower is truly remarkable. This 1000-foot-tall, iron lattice

tower has become the global icon for France, and well it

should. The architecture in Paris is stunning from Notre

Dame to the Louvre but the tower takes the cake.

I remember walking down the streets of Paris when my

friend and I decided to head for the Eiffel Tower. Because

of its size, we put away the map, kept the tower in view and

headed straight for it.

The best part about

visiting the tower,

however, is that every

evening from sunset to

1 a.m., it is illuminated.

There is also a glimmering

light display on the top of

each hour that can only be

described as mesmerizing.

Sainte-Chapelle:

This Holy Chapel in

the center of Paris is the

perfect example of Gothic

architecture. It is, however, most known for the 6,000

square feet of stained-glass windows. Two thirds of the

pieces today are the original works from the 12th century.

The panes recount the full biblical history of humanity,

from creation to the redemption through Christ.

The intricacy of the stained-glass coupled with the sheermagnitude of the windows is breathtaking and awe-inspiring

to say the least. We spent so long gazing at the windows we

lost track of time and were reluctant to leave.

AustiaChess in Salzburg: While walking through the streets

of Salzburg, we stumbled across a giant chess board painted

right on the ground. There were two men actually playing

the game with large chess pieces. Although I am terrible

at chess, this was such an unexpected discovery it was

entertaining to watch.

Sound of Music Tour: Even though we were

discouraged from taking this tour by our leader he

thought it was boring it turned out to be one of our

favorite activities while in Austria.

We spent the day touring the countryside where our

guide who,

coincidentally,

sounded exactly

like Jon Lovitz

showed us many

of the buildings

used in the original

movie (e.g. St.

Michaels Church

in the wedding

scene). We also

saw the gazebo

from the lm (sing

it with me: I am

16 going on 17...)


The w m fvi ng


21/24


and learned about the real von Trapp

family. And at the end, we were able

to go on a bobsled ride. What more

could you ask for?

GmyNeuschwanstein Castle:

Although hard to pronounce, this19th-century palace is worth seeing.

This impressive structure was

the inspiration for Disneylands

Sleeping Beauty Castle and is sure

to inspire you.

Built on a rugged hill above

a village in southwest Bavaria, the only thing more

picturesque than the castle is the view of the sprawling

landscape below.

Berlin Wall: Yes, the

Berlin Wall is no longer

standing, but pieces of it can

be seen at the Museum Haus

am Checkpoint Charlie.

Dedicated to preserving

the history of the famous

crossing point between

East Germany and West

Germany, the exhibits

housed at the museum are

stark reminders of the Cold

War.

Even though I was only9 when the Berlin Wall

came down, the impact it

had on the world was great

enough to affect even me.

While it has been several

years since I was in Germany, I can still remember the

sadness I felt upon seeing a piece of the wall. To stand next

to such a historically signicant artifact was humbling.

Czeh RpbliOld Town Prague: The last country we visited on

our trip to Europe was the Czech Republic. The Old

Town Square is a beautiful representation of the unique

architectural style of the country. We also witnessed

the changing of the guard at Prague Castle, the largest

medieval castle complex in Europe. The most impressive

demonstration, however, was the guard outside the gate who

remained focused on his duties even with so many tourists

standing next to him to take a picture (us included).

Theresienstadt Concentration Camp: Okay, so this

would not make my favorites list, but was certainly the

most memorable place we visited on the trip.

Located in the city of Terezn,

this Jewish labor camp was used

as a propaganda tool during World

War II to dispel rumors about the

extermination camps. In 1944,

the Nazis permitted visits by

representatives from the Red Cross

what they saw, however, wasnot the reality of life there. Many

Jews were deported to Auschwitz

to minimize the appearance of

overcrowding, and newly painted

rooms were apparently enough

to fool the Red Cross. The hoax

worked so well the Nazis even made a propaganda lm

there.

Upon entering the camp, we were explained the

signicance of the false promise Arbeit macht frei or

Work makes you free painted above the gate. To stand in

the tiny rooms where hundreds of Jewish prisoners slept on

a few wooden beds was emotionally overwhelming, but an

experience I wouldnt trade for the world.

So much of what I love about traveling has to do

with learning about other countries, other cultures and

ultimately about the world we live in. We all experience

the same emotions, and the events that occur in one corner

of the world can greatly impact the rest of it. To my fellow

travelers out there, take time to learn about your foreign

neighbors youll gain more than you bargained for.

Tips

Try ground transportationIf youre not in a hurry, take

a train or a bus to your next

destination. Fares are usually

cheaper than airlines, and its a

good way to see the countryside.

Think smaller

Flying in or out of a smaller,

regional airport can be a great

way to save on airfare. Smaller

carriers tend to charge less, and

it may only add an extra hour of

travel time.
