Wednesday Image Search – Thu

Welcome to another Wednesday Image Search where I pick a string of letters or a word and share some of the images I find in an image search of the blog.

You may noticed that I missed the Wednesday Image Search yesterday. Being a little time lagged I just let it slip my mind. Plus, my mind had wandered somewhere else.

So, this week I will search for ‘thu’ since it is Thursday.

What images will I find?

Thursday Tea, Brahmin Tea, Steven Smith TeamakerWith the first image we have my Thursday tea towel along with som Brahmin tea.

Thums Up - Indian Cola - Coca Cola - India - Strong Tasting ColaFor  the second image we have a Thums Up bottle. Do you know what country this cola is from? Bonus points if you can tell where this picture was taken.

Thuringer Rostbratchen, roter hirsch, old restaurantNext is a Thuringer Rostbratchen from one of the oldest restaurants in the world. The restaurant is in Jena, Germany and is more than 500 years old.

Agapanthus, Watering Restrictions, Recovery, FlowersThis picture is of my Agapanthus plant in my backyard. I had so many scapes that year. This year there is only one scape.

christmas market, chemnitz, germanFinally, we have a Thüringer Rostbratwurst that I enjoyed at the Christmas Market in Jena, Germany. This was from the last trip I took before the pandemic.

I had a lot of interesting thu pictures to choose from.

Which is your favorite of these ‘thu’ pictures?

What should I search for next? I do have another  ‘ea’ search I want to make.

Lunch and a Ball Game in Korea

Tonight I was thinking back to a trip I took to Seoul, Korea nine years ago.

We usually went out to a restaurant for lunch, so I was surprised when it came time for lunch and the students were not making plans to go out.

Why were we having lunch in the class room?

I did enjoy watching the game with the students, and could really see the passion that they have for the game.

I just looked Ryu up, and found that the date of this game was April 2, 2013. His debut was with the Dodgers, and he is still playing and pitching for the Blue Jays this year.

A nice memory tonight.
