... plant down the stairs- we discussed this later) and back up again to platform # 4 where there was no train… ****. But then we realized the train in platform #5 was going to Regensburg, so we decided maybe that was our train. Just as we were going to get on the next train, the board at #4 flashed Munchen via Regensburg. Yay, that train was running late as well. But boo, that meant we would have even less time in Regensburg. Oh well, at least we were on the right track. We ...

... is a book called "Neither here nor there". I don't recall the author, but I will never forget the book. He said that the Italians should have never been told about the motorcar. I couldn't agree more. First, we were almost run off the road by a semi who obviously didn't care who he ran over. Second, an SUV traveling at warp speed sped past us with only about an inch between us. The force we felt as the car passed ...

... eventually we came across the Old-New Synagogue, which is the oldest functioning synagogue in Europe. We bought a ticket for 200Kr and eventually found our way into the synagogue. The building is very old and built in a Gothic style, with no crosses of course.

... around the city. There is a great public transportation system here with metros and trams. I am really enjoying the restaurants here in Prague. Although I'm not crazy about the typical Czech cuisine of goulash and cooked game, I do like most of the restaurants here ...

... back the huge backpack, along with some of my extra clothing, used travel guidebooks and my souvenirs (one teaspoon from each country). I now have a much smaller and lighter pack. I can't wait to get on a bus. We stayed in Prague for 6 nights - the longest that I stayed at any one place. It was very nice to see Paul, who will meet me again in Thailand in Jan. Anyone else wants to join me? I will be in Asia from Nov to Feb, Australia in March and Africa in April to July.

... though she wasn't Jewish) and the possessions of children from one of the concentration camps, including drawings. That, in particular, just ripped my heart out. I thoroughly enjoyed the Alfons Mucha museum, having loved his decorative arts for years. (Which of us who came of age in the 60s didn't have one of his posters on our wall?) His extensive Slavic cycle of work, done after his return to Prague, provided me with a different view of his art. And then there was Mozart. His ...

... 30€ or stay here another night. It really isn't that bad and it makes free travel fun and exciting. We are sitting and just trying to make the best of the situation. Prague...We got into the city last night and made our way to Sir Toby's hostel. We dropped our stuff on in the room and then headed out to explore the city. We had a rough time figuring out the transportation system at first but got accustomed to it as we went along. We went to ...
