Undine from Fairy Tale to Star Trek

Thanks, Mira, for your comment. Undine by de la Motte Fouque is definitely a classic read. It's especially interesting to compare it with Andersen's Little Mermaid.

The Goose Girl by Brothers Grimm

I read this as a child but am still not sure what the geese did in the story. To me now it's just a way of choosing a peasant girl for a protagonist. I really enjoy your posts as I have read lots of fairy tales as a child up until second grade ...

The Musical ELISABETH

chefkeem, Thank you for the backstory and YouTubes. Unfortunately, not one of the videos is available because of blocking by Merlin Ordis, according to the video messages. Isn't it tragic how Romy Schneider played Sissi and sustained the same ...

3 Days in Ravenna Italy

Ravenna is a great place to visit for a few days, especially after spending time in one of the bigger/more popular Italian cities. We added on our days in Ravenna after being in Venice for a little over a week and it was perfect.

3 Days in Ravenna Italy

The mosaics are quite amazing and the food so appetizing! I plan to visit Rome next year, but maybe the year after that I'll get to Ravenna as well :)

Shady Hollow Austin

chefkeem, Thank you for the images, information and video. Do you know what the average lot size is? A selling point is contributing a portion of sales to the school system.

Why move to Austin, Texas? (Before it's too late)

chefkeem, Thank you for the backstories, persuasive videos and product lines. How much do you think of the Austin that you love will be retained when the cost of living makes it too late for all but billionaires to move there?
