The term forms from the German words wandern (to hike) and lust (enjoy). Placing the two words together translates to "to enjoy hiking", although it is commonly described as an enjoyment of strolling or wandering. A more contemporary equivalent for the English wanderlust in the sense of "love of travel" would be Fernweh (literally "an ache for the distance").

Apple Festival Portland, OR
We had the great opportunity to attend the Apple Festival in Portland this past October. Our friends Robert and Jen More invited us to this amazing community event. It was extra special because Robert's entire family also attended the event as the business has been in their family for (just a guess) 50 years. Robert's stepfather still does all the ordering for the over 50 different apples they present for tasting. The smile on Bob's face as he shared this event with us was priceless.
The brisk weather, the home made apple cider, the apples tasting, the pumpkin painting, the balloon twisting gentleman, face painting the time with friends and family all together created a truly excellent afternoon.
