Magnificient Icon The icon of Our Lady of Snows is magnificient. I have been searching for an icon like the one that you have pictured. Do you know whom I can contact about such an image or a website to visit? Thank you.
Our Lady of the Snows Here is a link to information on the church, http://www.prague.net/church-of-our-lady-of-the-snow
I am not sure what information you are searching for in your request. The photo is of a mosiac over the doorway to the interior of the church. When the sun hits it, it glows.

Do I need permission to include this image in my book, or is it public domain?
Any assistance in regard is appreciated.

Information, Please. I've loved your review e took it as suggestion for me. I would like to know what station the train starts? Is from Prague? Do you remember about the return? There are a regular timetable? Thank you!
Train to Cesky Sternberk Castle We left from the main train station in Prague. The train is a local and make a ton of stops. It is a good trip. Enjoy it.
Šárka Valley The two of you are simply blessed to be able to be a part of a diversity of culture. God bless you both. The smiles on your faces says it all

Thanks! Thanks for sharing! I'm sure you're right about the inadequacy of the photos compared to being there in person, but still, the photos are great for those of us unlikely to see these things firsthand.
It's so kind of you to take the time to share in situ. All the same, you're missed back home!
Peace,
Jeremy
Blog Greetings Bill & Nancy......I pray you both are well. It is great getting online and finding an email from you and your adventures. God bless & keep you both. Keeping looking unto God for all things, His mercies are new every morning.....

Christmas in Paris I can only imagine how cold it was. You paint a nice verbal picture of your trip to Sacre Coeur. Along with the photos, I definitely "get the picture." Safe travels. Bob
Paris You are having too much fun! Sounds great.
Two of my grandaughters are in Paris now with a college class.
Good to hear from you. When will you be home?
Take care,
Virginia
Lovely to read about your curiosity, oomph and initiative. The photos certainly enhance your comments. In July 1971 I remember the train station at Irun and the poignant sunset seen from San Sebastián. It was near the end of a 10-week backpacking trip (on $5 a day!). The golden globe of the sun dropping into the sea, like a huge orange
San Sebastian Thank you for sharing your marvelous experiences with those of us who will never get to the places you do. Photos and personal accounts will live on. Thanks for keeping such a journal.
paris subways do not like US credit cards Hi Bill and Nancy! Always fun to read about your travel adventures. When Paul and I went to Paris a few years ago, we had a similar problem. The subway machine did not accept any of our credit cards and would only accept Euro coins. We were short the coins and had quite an adventure trying to get change after 6 pm. Glad things worked out for you.
Ha! Nancy, Destroyer of Ticket Machines!
What a great story. I especially like the bit where Nancy disappears and ninjas into the shadows once she realized the problem. I'm glad it worked out in the end.
Paris Glad you were able to visit the City of Light for five days. I trust that generally you found the French to be more friendly than you anticipated. Going back to my backpacking days in 1971 and more recently in 2005, 2007, 2010, I found them to be agreeable and helpf
Paris! Nice to hear from you again. I am sooo proud of you two--mistakes and all. What wonderful experiences. You have lots more courage than I do. Keep it up. Laura
Thinking about you You are just having too much fun! I thouhgt about you during the holidays and wondered what you might be doing. Guess you were out having fun!
Have my 15 month old grandson in my lap as I write. Have enjoyed having them closer by.
Bratislava We loved Bratislava when we were there in 1996. It is such an easy town to walk around in. Also we bought a beautiful blue glass and gold plate which is one of our favorite things. I think the statues must have been added since then.
Nuremberg Thanks again for yet another update. In September we plan a Smithsonian - led trip to Prague, Warsaw, Krakow, Budapest and Vienna. Your blogs have helped to broaden our horizons. Safe travels to you.
Enjoyed Christmas all over again! Dear Bill and Nancy,
I really like seeing your blog with pictures and comments. You travel well and will an eye for really seeing the sights. I am not sure I would have understood the paper about Newtown but it was amazing to think how far tenderness and care can wander.
All is well here with an inch or two of snow. I hope you enjoy your travels as much as I do.

Ironic? Kinda ironic that Bill is nonchalantly leaning (at his ease) against the "man at work" sign. So typical of Bill to be lazy and doing nothing...some people!
Of course, knowing Bill, the pose was intentionally ironic, eh?
Men at work and being jaunty I am so glad you are having fun & enjoying life! God bless and thanks after all these years for sharing yours & Nancy's exciting blog with me

We are retired librarians. Nancy worked for the Board of Education and Bill operated a one person engineering library for a communications company. Travel has been one of our passions our entire marriage.
Originally we thought this blog would report only on our trip to Prague. However, we have decided to add entries and photos previous trips. We hope you enjoy them.
