Look for our announcement of a beautiful land and river cruise experience in Germany next year!
I am here at the Hotel Elephant in Weimar, Germany. Although my visit is thoroughly enjoyable, I am here for a purpose. I am here making preparations and arrangements for a group that will be visiting here from Houston, TX. Very soon, I will also be announcing a Christmas market tour that will be a land and river market cruise experience.
During my time in Weimar, I am enjoying a beautiful view from my room of the Christmas market in the Weimar town square? Oh, and this hotel is absolutely gorgeous. I hope you will consider joining us at the Christmas markets next year!
Deeply embedded in our vision for Purposeful Journeys is the philosophy that travel offers the greatest potential for life changing experiences when itineraries are formed and shaped as narratives centered on the purpose of a journey.
My vision for a journey to Ireland for Navy v Notre Dame was to travel with a group of Navy parents in order to create and share memories of Ireland with those who can only know what it means to raise a Midshipman.
Fellow travelers who formed our cohort and traveled to Ireland together with Purposeful Journeys will tell you that the purpose of this journey has been fulfilled beyond expectations. Whether you have a purpose, dates, and destination in mind, or just beginning to imagine and are interested in consulting with us on embarking on a purposeful journey, we invite you to get in touch. We would love to speak with you.
The outcome of the game notwithstanding, we made new friends, deepened relationships, and created memories that will last a lifetime at the Aer Lingus College Football Classic. Go Navy!!!
We are continuing our extended pregame tour of Ireland with excellent food and the fantastic company of new friends, great historical, cultural experiences like our visit to a twelfth century monastery, stunningly beautiful scenery like the Cliffs of Moher, and fun experiences like a sheep dog demonstration. Nothing like the camaraderie and friendship of Navy families. Go Navy!
Today, thanks to our driver/guide, we took the backroads from Dublin to Galway. This allowed for an opportunity to stop for lunch at a nineteenth century fort on the the longest river in Ireland—The Shannon River. There is a café in the fort where we had lunch.
Outside the fort is the oldest bridge in the River Shannon. The fort was built out of fear that Napoleon would invade Ireland from the west. If Napoleon invaded, he would have to cross the Shannon. The fort was built to prepare for an invasion that never materialized.
Lunch with our new friends and fellow Navy parents was much more pleasant than I imagine any meal would have been for soldiers preparing for imminent invasion. Oh, and I am quite sure the food we enjoyed today was far superior to the grub served up to soldiers.

Our time in Weimar, Germany is drawing to a close. Tomorrow we make our five hour drive to the foothills of the Alps in preparation to witness the Passion Play in Oberammergau, Germany on Thursday.
