dragon hi jim. i found out what is that beast on the photo from rijeka.
In European bestiaries and legends, a basilisk ('bæzjljsk[1], from the Greek ²±Ã¹»¯Ãº¿Â basilískos, "little king"; Latin Regulus) is a legendary reptile reputed to be king of serpents and said to have the power of causing death by a single glance. According to the Naturalis Historia of Pliny the Elder, the basilisk of Cyrene is a small snake, "being not more than twelve fingers in length",[2] that is so venomous that it leaves a wide trail of deadly venom in its wake, and its gaze is likewise lethal; its weakness is in the odour of the weasel, which according to Pliny, was thrown into the basilisk's hole, recognisable because all the surrounding shrubs and grass had been scorched by its presence.
that beast was on the family emblem of the castle owner.

thinking of you:))) Hi Jim, I just checked your latest entry and love the pictures, as always. So what's up with the locks in the last foto? what a terrible thing to associate with being in love with someone. now that I think about it my first marriage did feel alot like that heavy lock, oh well.
what kind of food do they eat there in Buda and or Pest? ever since your foto of the guinea pig meal I've never been the same. take care, big hug and look forward to your next blogarooney:)))
the Ukraine? Hi Jim,
Did you try to find any information on your great great g'ma Mollie Spector (Brooks)? She was born in Odessa, Ukraine...
Have you left already?
Take care, Love, Dana
Hit man Hey Jim ,
You kind of look like a hit man with those sun glasses on.
Are you really on a vacation or do you work undercover for the U.S. government ?
Fried Cuy, oh joy! Nothing like some potatoe and entrails to go with a meal of yummy Cuy. What type of wine did they recommend you drink with that? Save some for me!!!!
WOW! Wow! I havnt been on your blog in like a month or so. I am delighted to see how cool your new years seemed! You will defeneatly have so many great stories to tell, but the memories are the ones who will stay forever. This is priceless. You dont even know how jealous I am of you Jim!!! :)

nice place!! Wow, what a great place. Now this might change my mind about south America, I don't see any photos of huge poisonous spiders or coral snakes. This to me would be a great place!!
no way man !!! O.K., now the photo of the spider has done it for me ,no way will I be traveling to that part of the world! Jim just keep sending the pics I'll live the southern american experience through you man!!
Ok, I am a little behind (just 2 1/2 months thats all).. That just means I am having a good time.. Right??? I am now in Thailand and having a ball eating all sorts of crazy things and taking my time to see the sights. I even did some scuba diving which was a real highlight. At this point I have been away for over 9 months and have only a few left. Where did the time go? That just means I have to get up-to-date before I move on again. Hope everyone is doing well. Be sure to add comments on the photos its always fun to read them.
