StringGrrl sees the World

  As a result of the 15 or so broken ribs sustained in the " incident ", StringGrrl and Eric had to find a place to remain nearby the hospital for 2 additional weeks, before we were deemed "Fit-to-Fly". Quick internet research yielded many hotels and Inns in the "Inns River" area. A standout was the Tramserhof Hotel which promised a wellness center with Sauna, Waterbeds, Ice cold Kneipebecke (wading pool), and rooms with Bathtubs (needed since I cannot stand up for a shower).  Jan was Elwood, to my Joliet Jake, & drove Bluesmobile to Tramserhof post release from House-of-pain Southfacing patio provides stellar views throughout the day Essential Supplies: Alkoholfrei Biers und Scharfsaus Bayerische Sauerbraten, Sehr Gut Room packages included very reasonable Single-rooms with options for Room Only, Room with Breakfast, and the Half-Board option (half-board includes breakfast and a 4-course dinner nightly).  Soaking in Bathtub is a joy, our OnlyFans and ...

The view from the soon-to-be/or by-now former ESI ITI offices. Not far from Dresden Innere Altstadt, Dresdener Zwinger, and the Palace.  One of many museums in the area, which we don't remember.

Vikram's suggestion French Breakfast in a small cafe attached to a Bakery was on the list of "To-Dos" for Vikram our in-house foodie. He had been scheming where and what to eat for the weeks leading up to this trip. Very much hoping for new pictures and reviews for his food blog " Breaking Naan ". For weekend breakfast we ventured into the Saint Germane area of Paris for Petit Déjeuner. This outlet for a famed bakery in Paris was a nice break from a week of not so super breakfast at the worst hotel in Rungis-Orly (maybe not the worst, but I hold up hope that the rest might be better) but that is a different kind of post for another day. Poilane is bakery established in 1932 and run for three generations of the same family. First with the founder Pierre, then Lionel, and presently Apollonia Poilane they maintain the original premises at 8 rue du ...
