My two favorite things in the world are women and wine. Having dinner in a nice restaurant allows you to enjoy both at the same time. Thus on Sunday, after perusing the S.O.’s tour book, I informed her that we were skipping the hotel’s “breakfast” ( cereal, coffee, and donuts

To the Plains of Abraham and back….
I have known you as a gallant adversary. It is now my pleasure to make your acquaintance as a friend. And I yours, Monsieur La Marquis.-From the movie Last of the Mohicans…….. Uh, how’s that getting out flanked thing working out General? We made the circuit up to Quebec City

Or whatever it is one says in French. The S.O. and I arrived here in one piece-no worse the wear for having to traverse America’s worst airport (IMHO) Dulles International. We arrived in Montreal via a route of flight that brought us right over the city and we could see

In like a lion-out like a lion? Cold today-just as it was a couple of weeks ago when we took these pictures: This is Poogan’s Porch-which is the place you want to go for an artery hardening brunch on a cold Sunday morning. The restaurant is named for the dog

While I thoroughly loved Vienna and am ready to go back-Prague had to be the highlight of the trip. It started with dinner the night we arrived: Our hotel had a wine restaurant in the basement-some what pricey, but we were really not in the mood to venture far afoot

And it looks like a good time could be had-if I was free to explore it…………. There are indications of some really primo nightlife it seems. Not that I am going to see any of it. Have seen plenty of stores though, lots of ceramics and Bohemian glass. Pix to

On the way to Prague this afternoon. For some strange reason you have to go to the south station to get to Prague which is North. Don’t ask me-that’s where the train runs from. Yesterday though was a good day. We followed up on our Schonbrun visit, by taking the

Picture post follows. I will be running out of internet time soon-so I’d prefer that the pictures did the talking here. ( No free internet in the room in Vienna-nor in Salzburg. I’m typing this from Vienna). Click on the pix to see them better. However yesterday we went sight

Greetings from Tucson. Long day today as I had to get up early for some teleconferences, meetings, and get some reports out that should have been done yesterday. (Got to unpack and drag the S.O. to where she wanted to go yesterday). Then to home and have the S.O. take
