Two pictures from Croatia and an update from Greece

Here is an incompete post that I started about Croatia. There are only two pictures. We have been having trouble connecting the hard drive so we can post more up-to-date pictures.


A night view of the old Town in Dubrovnik.


The cat that welcomed us when we arrived. It was sitting on the bed and was really friendly. It turns out that this cat did not belong to the lady whom we rented a room from. It was just taking advantage of the soft place to sleep.

Where are we and what are we doing right now? We have rented a car and are driving around the mainland of Greece. Right now we are in Dephi. This morning we got stuck in a traffic jam. Why? We were in a long line of cars while there were annoucements and a marching band blocking the intersection. We couldn't turn around because we were on a one way street. Eventually the crowds disperced and we were able to pass. We managed to get to the Museum and wandered around trying to avoid the numerous tour groups. Luckily, it turns out that today was free entrance to the museum.

We then walked back into town in search of food and internet. We found internet and after this post, the plan is to go next door and have a gyros. Hmm! They are George's favourite so we are comparing the different establishments that we find. Now I am really hungry. I think it is time to go.

Catching up on photos from Czech Republic


This is the natural arch that we hiked to in Decin.


Czech Cuisine is known for their mushrooms that they pick in the woods. This is one of the mushrooms that you are not supposed to pick.


These mushrooms were gathered by Olda (George's uncle). George Sr are you jealous of your brother-in-law's bounty?


A good view of Prague Castle and Charle's Bridge in Prague.


This is part of the astronomical clock in the old town square.


This is the Fred and Ginger building in Prague.


Vlasta who is George's Grandma's sister-in-law , Carolyn, Alena who is George's Grandma , Tomas who is George's cousin, George and Jirka (which is George in Czech and also George's other cousin). Complicated? We are having a cook out in Tomas' garden.


The picture-perfect town of Cesky Krumlov.
