Gail & Jim at the Hybernia Restaurant in Prague.
This place is also known as "Needles" and looking at Gail's dinner (the skewer) you can understand why.
Of all the photos we took in Europe, this is my favorite.

Dürnstein, Austria. This tiny town is located in the beautiful Wachau Valley. Richard the Lionhearted was imprisoned in the castle here in 1193. |

Believe it or not, Gail drank coffee on our trip up the Danube. Here she is with a cup of coffee Melange, a typical Viennese blend. |
This is probably the most shocking photo ever taken of Gail. Yes folks, that IS a glass of red wine. After 30 years of marriage she is still full of surprises. |
This is a photo of us with our crusing buddies Martin & Bernice and Lois & Larry. This was the only evening we dressed up for dinner. Their company really made the trip special. |
This photo was taken during dinner in Nuremberg. Immediately after this was taken some kids walked by and one mooned us. Somethings are universal. |
The view from our room at the Intercontinental Hotel in Budapest can only be described as spectacular. This is only part of the view, the camera could not take it all in. |
This is the rest of the view (Buda Castle), looking a little to the left of the previous photo. |
While in Salzburg Gail found the perfect place to shop. |
After converting dollars to Euros and gallons to liters we found that premium gas in Austria costs only $8.91 per gallon. That explains all the thin people and bicycles. |
After spending 6 months teaching myself German I was thrilled to see this sign at the Mozart Museum in Salzburg and realize I could read the whole thing. It says: Mozart's birthhouse Mozart Museum In this house was W A Mozart on 27 January 1756 born |
Gail on the Buda side of the Danube, overlooking the Hungarian Parliament building. |

Trimming the tree. |
Gail rubbing the dog on the bronze portion of the St John Nepomuk statue on the Charles Bridge in Prague. Legend has it if you pet the dog you will return to Prague. Both of us would go back to Prague if given the opportunity. |
Tourists being tourists in Prague. Without a photo of ourselves in front of the Astronomical Clock we really couldn't say we had been there. As you can see, I ate very well on this vacation. |

Klondike found us in January 2000 when she was about 5 months old. She walked out of a snow drift and into our lives. She's been with us ever since. Klon, as she is known, is the only one of our cats that likes to sleep under the covers. |
All of the cats love to sleep in the kitchen bay window where they can keep an eye out for birds, deer and the occasional bear. Today is Klon's turn to have the fleece "donut" to sleep in. |
Taffy came to us "temporarily" while we worked on her injured paw. That was over 6 years ago. In our house there is no such thing as an animal coming temporarily. |
Taffy is the youngest of our 3 cats. She is always curious and always friendly. Here she is asking if she can jump up into my lap as I'm working. As you know, two heads are better than one. |
Zach was a present from Gail to Gail on her birthday in 2002. He was about 4 at the time. He loves everyone. Zach is happiest when he is sleeping curled up on top of someone, preferably Gail but anyone will do in a pinch. |
Zach likes to get up close and personal and that includes with the camera. |
Buddy is a 9 week old mixed breed puppy that Erin got for Rich as a Christmas present. He is the cutest puppy there ever was and he loves to snuggle. |
Taffy and Klon take turns sleeping in the "cat house", a padded cube that they can curl up in and get really comfortable. It also makes a great place to store your favorite toy so the others won't find it. |
