Mystery flower Your mystery flower is an "Advent Rose" and it naturally blooms
during Lent. That is the common name for it . 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
Cranes 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?
Living in Bohemia 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.
It's a pitty 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
How Beautiful Prague is!!! 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
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.
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.
Polish table ware There is an ice cream shop in Bowie that sells some Polish table ware. They use it to serve sundaes. It is run by an African American couple.
Your photos are really lovely!!
Another Interpretation 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....
:-)
I Can't Get Enough..... You have found some unique buildings. I esp. enjoyed your comment, Nancy, about the relative merits of studying and playing. Freda
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.
