| 21st July 2009 jen | neat! - From: Clipper Mill - What a Neighborhood I really enjoyed reading about your visit to Woodberry. I live in one the stone house pictured above and loved hearing another's point of view about our neighborhood. We love it here and think it's a special place. By the way, there are many talented artisans that have landed in the Woodberry/Hampden area. The next time you take the light rail down, take a walk over to 36th Street aka "the Avenue" (36th Street is the road that Chuck's is on) where many of them have work on display. |

I just purchased the smaller ones but loved the big ones but cannot bring myself to pay those prices. Where is this workplace you refer to in Turkey?

| 8th May 2008 elvan | tne name of blue mosque - From: The Blue Mosque of Istanbul The original name of the mosque is " Sultan Ahmet", not Blue Mosque. Sultan means ruler, padishah and Ahmet is the name of the sultan. So its very normal that you haven't see blue ceramic tiles. |

| 15th April 2008 Daniel Nicolato | Treasures - From: Karlstein -- WOW, what a castle I went there too as part of an Austria-Germany-Czech Rep. trip. Indeed a wonderful castle. I took the guided tour trough the interior (btw a very informative experience). One of the tours (there are 2 options, if I remember well) took us to a display of part of the treasures of Charles IV. Among the pieces was a curious reptillian skull (according to our guide, now believed to be a crocodile's). Apparently, Charles IV believed it to be the skull of Saint George's dragon. So cool!!! |
| 3rd April 2008 Eso | Dr. Rieger - From: Great Walk, Wonderful View Hi, it's this Rieger: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frantiaek_Ladislav_Rieger |

| 5th October 2007 annonomous | - From: Terra Cotta Warriors of the Qin Dynasty THANK YOU SO MUCH i needed this information for my project at school =D THANK YOU |
| 26th September 2007 Gaylynn | - From: Wieliczka Salt Mine My mother is due to visit Poland soon and would like to visit the salt mines but she has chronic arthiritis in her knee - is there a way she can see them witout using the steps ? |
| 2nd September 2007 Scott | Reflections from another visitor - From: Karlstein -- WOW, what a castle We just recently completed a driving vacation of the area. We did not pre-purchase tickets to the castle and did not get to see the famed chapel. Personally, without that portion, I found the castle somewhat plain and boring. Much of the furnishings, artwork, etc are gone. So, if you plan to visit, I would make sure to purchase the chapel tour in advance. Also, we drove, and used a GPS to find the castle. I strongly caution you not to do this. The village of Karlstejn is CLOSED to public traffic during the day AS ARE THE ROADS LEADING TO THE CASTLE AND THE VILLAGE. And unfortunately, if you do not speak Czech as we did not, you may fall prey to a nasty little trap. We were ticked 500 Czech Crown because we drove on the road and parked in what appeared to be open castle parking. In fact, it was UNUSED, but reserved parking for special occasions like weddings. We returned to the car to find a Denver Boot on the car with a note to find the police station or call. Having no cell phone, we were going to walk to try to find the station. Luckily I suppose, the police returned as we were beginning our descent into the village. It was an honest mistake and the parking was unused that day. For such a tourist location, it would have been nice to have a little more clearly marked signs. We studied international signs, but without being able to read Czech, we could not determine the particular signage for this situation. We planned to do quite a bit of shopping that day in the village. I have to say I was so frustrated with the situation that it really put a damper on the day and the castle. As a result we chose not to spend any more money in the village. We would have felt much better if the police had understood and been compassionate because we wanted to learn more about their community and history. They probably cost their village around 3000 Crown because we were looking for Bohemian Crystal and other gifts and souvenirs. Hopefully we will save someone else the same upsetting experience by sharing ours. :-) |
| 29th July 2007 Jameson Lewis III | Greetings! - From: Beautiful Ceilings I just wanted to thank you both for this tour of this wondrous city of my mother's birth. You are both truly a blessing. I am seeing the things I'd always so hoped to see, but never will, through your eyes. Somehow, genetically, half of me is still anchored in the Russia of Tchaikovsky's day and you have taken me there. Thanks again. |
| 4th July 2007 Tessa | Thanks for this article - From: Karlstein -- WOW, what a castle I was emailed a link to Karlstein Castle by a friend who lives in CZ as a place that I might like to visit when on holiday there in a few days time. Reading your article confirms that I must not miss Karlstein Castle off of the places that I must vistit. Thank you very much for such a lovely blog. |

| 8th May 2007 Vladimir | Castle - From: Karlstein -- WOW, what a castle Very interested to read of your visit and to see the pictures. Have been trying to find where Karlstein is located, as i would like to revisit for another reason - my parents and I were imprisoned there by the Nazis in forced labour towards the end of WW2, and managed to escape through Austria, Tirol and Italy as the war was ending. I am currently researching our family history, so your article fills a gap in the story. |
| 30th April 2007 Sarah | Amazing! - From: Wieliczka Salt Mine I am a wheelchair user and visited the mine in march whilst on a field trip with my university, and before i went i just imagined piles od salt everywhere, boy did i get a surprise! ... i would recomend anyone who is contemplating visiting the mine to do so, because it is fabulous!!! |

I have 4 of those in my garden. So glad to be receiving your blog again. Wish it was possible for us to come there and you show us the lovely gardens and eating places. I would surely eat the crepes and anything else you suggest. Blessings to you both. Carolyn |
| 10th February 2007 Carol Lerian | Lovely snow - From: Snow Bill, I found your blog now. Thanks for the update. I hope you are both well. Hello from all your Annapolis Library friends. Carol |

| 17th December 2006 Bill Mc Millen | Cranes - From: Medieval Crane It's true you can move heavy objects with cranes and pulley systems. We seem to be mystified at ancient cultures like the Egyptians erecting massive stone pyramids, temples and obelisks. There is no mystery-those people worked and obviously took pride in their work based on the long existence and condition of their stone edifications. We seem to think the wheel did not exist in Egypt-but there is no evidence it did not-chariots had to have wheels and so why couldn't there have been a crane used in pyramid construction? |
| 17th July 2006 Candace | Hotel in Karlovey Vary - From: The Wonders of Karlovy Vary (Karlsbad) Could you please post the name of the hotel you stayed in? Thanks |
| 17th July 2006 Vivian | Living in Bohemia - From: Largest natural bridge in Europe Bill and Nancy have described one beautiful area of the Czech Republic. My husband and I laugh when people tell us they have been to the CR but never left Prague. It is a wonderful country ful of interesting towns, beautiful nature and most of all, wonderful people. Between this national park and Prague, lies the town of Litomerice where we lived for a year and have returned to visit. If you go, be sure to stop and visit. You will find the people welcoming. |
| 27th June 2006 Andrea | It's a pitty - From: An Evening Walk It's a pitty to have to leave such a beautiful city. I have enjoyed all your entries immensely. Enjoy your last days in these beautiful city. Hugs, Andrea |
| 27th June 2006 Carol Lerian | How Beautiful Prague is!!! - From: An Evening Walk Bill and Nancy, you have really made that part of the world come alive through your words and pictures. I see why you so enjoy going back and I know you'll be sad leaving the people and places with whom you spent the last six months. Have a safe trip back to quaint little "old" Annapolis. Carol Lerian |

| 1st June 2006 Connie | - From: A Great Zoo Company just left so am just now getting a week's worth of e-mails. I also love zoos and remember when we were catching a night train to Stockholm from Coopenhagen we took a bus to the Coopenhagen zoo and it too was great. If we ever get back to Praque the zoo will be a must. Taks care you two and continue to have such a wonderful time. |
| 17th May 2006 Connie | - From: Goodbye Christopher Newport So much fun to make friends with young people. Keeps us young at heart. I'm on jury duty so now must set the alarm, etc., like working again. Makes me realize how much I appreciate retirement! We've had a lot of company since we've been home. June will be another busy month with company and then two weeks in Hawaii for Ryan and Lisa's wedding. Take care and thanks for keeping in touch. |

| 30th April 2006 Melanie | Another Interpretation - From: Ticks, Encephalitis and Shots I, for one, am quite sure that the woman read the Front Page first, and then handed it to the man when he ran out of things to read - you know, coming unprepared and all.... :-) |
| 28th April 2006 Connie | - From: Only In Europe I will be back! |

| 4th April 2006 Ellen and Jonathan | flood woes - From: High Water We of course saw the '02 flood water levels when we were there and could imagine how terrible it must have been. We sure hope you are right, that the worse will NOT actually happen. We are enjoying your blogs, especially when they are about places and things that we know first hand. Ellen |
| 2nd April 2006 Margie Kelbel | Beautiful pottery... - From: Musaion - Pottery Hi, Nancy and Bill. These are gorgeous. Thanks for the greetings today. I always say I celebrate my birthday the entire month of April, so yours were the "kick off" greetings. Fondly, Margie |

| 21st March 2006 Freda Redekop | National Museum Mineral Collection - From: National Museum - Mineral Collection Sure hope we have time to see this collection. The photos are fantastic. I am a rock nut like you, Nancy, and have the same problem of having to leave many of my finds behind when we travel or move. |
| 21st March 2006 Freda Redekop | Erudite and Sophisticated - From: Erudite and Sophisticated Cal and I love hats, caps and scarves. Our latest are leather caps we found in Buenos Aires which we hesitate to wear on trips for fear of losing them. So what good are they?? So go for it, Bill, join the erudite & soph. crowd. |
| 16th March 2006 Freda Redekop | Oh the snow is so delightful - From: Snow??? Yes SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When you are in a cozy spot with a view to the beautiful sight of swirling, falling snow, it's a heavenly feeling. I remember the big snow in March soon after we arrived in H'burg and taking photos of trees, bird feeders and one lone bird that barely made it to the feeder in the storm. I'm glad you have a memorable snow during your stay in Prague. Just hope it is melted by the time we get there. Freda |
| 15th March 2006 anonymous | - From: Wieliczka Salt Mine scarrrrry man |
| 11th March 2006 Bev Dahlman | Shopping carts - From: If It Is Wednesday It Is Grocery Shopping Day A shopping cart system such as you described used to be in use at the Gaithersburg Costco, but for some reason they gave it up. Maybe people found it too difficult to have a coin handy. |
| 6th March 2006 Freda Redekop | Walking in the Snow - From: Let's Take a Walk This might be a bit tardy since we have been out of town a few days. I found this blog very exciting. Cal and I are both high on exercise to cure most ills! Good to know about the Yaktrax in case we climb an icy slope. |
| 26th February 2006 Martin | Be careful with the snaps! - From: The Czech Switzerland Hi, let me make a ´small´ correction of the subtitles to the snaps of the castle and bridge: both of these objects can be found NOT in Děčín, but in another city, in Ústí nad Labem. BTW, I do realize that some 20 kilometers don´t mean a distance for the Americans, but anyway..... |
| 25th February 2006 Freda Redekop | Beautiful buildings! - From: Prague, a City of Beautiful Buildings You have shared your photography in showing us these lovely old buildings. Can hardly wait to see them. Thanks so much. Freda |

| 24th February 2006 Margie K. | Missed a prior entry... - From: Prague, a City of Beautiful Buildings How beautiful these are, folks. Life here is hectic -- seems I spend a lot of time attending retirement/going away parties and funeral home viewings. I need to get a new hobby.

| 19th February 2006 Connie | Continued - From: Estonian Pancakes I hit the wrong button and submitted to soon. Leaving tomorrow for So. CA and Arizona, visiting friends and some family. Hope Nancy is OK from the carpet deal. We both caught colds, can you believe it just when we are leaving. Wimp usually has a bad one once a year but I hardly ever catch one but this year---- oh well.

Wimp had a prostrate scare but tests turned out negative so we have to watch the situation but are cleared for travel so away we go soon. Love hearing about your exciting life. |

| 1st February 2006 Marsha Millard | Librarians - From: Library -- mental work -- well not always My sister was a page at the Fitchburg Public Library while in high school, and my Aunt Linda (who is deaf) worked in that same library for a number of years... Of course, I'm not a geek, so I have never worked in one... HAHAH (MagpieMidge) |

| 30th January 2006 Patrick | - From: Library -- mental work -- well not always My first part-time job was as a Page in a library. By Page I don't mean a sheet of paper in a book or a youth being trained for the medieval rank of knight and in the personal service of a knight - I mean a kid who put books away. And believe you me, it was a hell of a lot of work. First you had to deal with the Dewey Decimal System, which I don't think the Czechs use. Then there was the physical aspect, especially dealing with carts with stubborn stuck wheels. Follow that by the sheer banality of the setting of a wee municipal library - not exactly babe central, let me tell you. The most difficult thing was trying not to read books while sorting them according to the DDS, and putting them away. Patrick www.prague-spot.com/blog |

| 23rd January 2006 Melanie | Must have been Barbara's "Goodnight Prayer!" - From: On the Way --- Back to Prague Maybe you are getting older Bill (I guess we all are), but maybe you slept so well because of Barbara's wonderful goodnight prayer. The Meditation group lifted you up for a peaceful and sleep-enhanced flight. Paul delivered your phone report to me, and I delivered it to the church during sharing. Everyone was delighted to hear you made it safe and sound. We are now praying for warmth for you and Russia and other folks your way. And oh yes - your laundry is dry and folded. |

| 7th December 2005 Lesley Dickason | - From: Auschwitz and Brikenau My friend and I went here in early December 2005. It had been snowing and was naturally cold. We had on tee-shirt and jumper, trousers, boots, socks, body warmers and a coat hat and gloves. We were chilly but the thought of all those people here with virtually no clothes on was unimaginable. The journey here was one of mixed feelings. My grandmother was born just outside Warsaw, came to England before Hitler ran riot, but in saying that most of her family were exterminated by this most sickest of men. I felt so sad on arrival at Birkenau. The thought of living (if that is what it can be called) I cannot imagine, and my thoughts and feelings are with those who died and of course, with those that managed to survive and their families. |

| 22nd October 2005 Jan | In fact... - From: When you gotta go ............... In fact, these two statues are able to "draw" letters in the water. There is a computer system underneath the statues, which processes a text message and then the statues will "write" the text in the water! And there is a certain phone number where you can send an SMS and the statues will "write" the message for you!:) It's pretty funny..... |
