Here I would love to share with you our travels and adventures as international mushroom consultants. MEMOIRS about husband Pieter Vedder, who was a SCIENTIFIC PIONEER in Commercial Mushroom Cultivation Education. His practical handbook is in 9 languages and is called the MUSHROOM BIBLE: https://mariettesbacktobasics.blogspot.com/2020/08/modern-mushroom-growing-2020-harvesting.html

The Open Air Museum in Kommern, Germany

 For many years I do read a blog from Willy, a Dutch lady that lives in the Province where Pieter is born, in Gelderland/The Netherlands.

She is an excellent photographer and she visits the most interesting places.

Willy has been battling Leukemia and is back on track and we sure wish her a lot more time with her close travel companion and husband!

So I spotted on her blog: The open-air museum in Kommern - Het openluchtmuseum in Kommern and new it was the one we visited! Just click the link and yes, she has a translator on the side, a little down.


Both of us got invited to join our 3 German sons as they took a day off for showing us around at Kommern Freilicht Museum in the Eifel.
An act of gratitude as they were our guests here in Georgia and we were there for them if needed while traveling in the USA.
Family, not by blood...
We went on to Switzerland and Italy for visiting friends.
Doing so, I forgot my black Chanel boots, after a night with our friends in the Eifel, Germany and had to retrieve them on the way home...
Adventures!

  1. Hello Mariette, I have bumped into a number of these open-air museums, and it is nice to know they can be found in Europe too. Many of them recreate an historic village, some of the most famous in the U.S. being Williamsburg, Virginia or Sturbridge Village, Massachusetts.

    Taiwan also has the very odd Cihu Park, which was the subject of one of my earliest posts:

    1. Dearest Jim,
      Thank you for your visit and yes, in Europe you surely can find these and most I know are nice and authentic.
      The U.S. has some interesting ones too, even Rawhide in Arizona was interesting with its jail and all. Did visit your Cihu Park post and that indeed was rather bizarre and way overdone.
      Hugs,
      Mariette

  6. Looks like it was a very nice place to visit and always lovely to have locals who are able to show you around. When this video was taken, I was just 10 days away from giving birth to my first son. :)

    1. Dearest Tammy,
      Wow, what a history to go back... we treasure such images now, for looking back with fondness. Especially now when traveling is restricted or totally out of question.
      It was a very nice place with excellent guidance!
      All of them have been to the U.S. and Canada as well.
      Hugs,
      Mariette

      Such an open air museum is quite educational as you are actually walking back in time and LIVE it.

  10. Museums are so under-rated. We learn a lot from museums.

    God bless, Mariette.

      That is oh so true, it is pure educational but nowadays the younger generation seems to get taught differently...
