Home — with memories

We're back in Oregon and happy to be home.    We took pretty much  the exact  opposite of a short-cut to get here and had a wonderful time doing it.    

 

Coming in for the landing

 I'm still sorting pictures and trying to "unjumble" all the information flying around in my head.   We learned so much — now I just have to figure out how to put it in writing so that it will still make sense when we look at it in the future.     While I work on  all that,  here are a few sample views from the beautiful city of Prague, Czech Republic where we spent a little over a week:  

 

 

The best part of Prague was having our own very special guides to the City –  Miss Olivia, our youngest great-grandchild and her parents, our grandchildren (grandson and his wife): 

 

 

We were so grateful that "the kids" had time to spend with us and we marveled at how adaptable and happy the baby was.   Jacob and Maya  are quite familiar with Prague.  (And   one of the family of three speaks the language fluently — I'm sure pretty soon it will be two or even all three.)  With their help, we navigated the city like locals .. almost!

 

Prague Castle on the horizon

There's so much more from Prague that I want to remember and after our time there we joined a Viking Cruise during which we visited several cities in Germany (the former East Germany) culminating in a couple of days in Berlin and I want to  document that too eventually!   Meanwhile,  we are happy to be home and looking forward to enjoying summer days here in Oregon.  

 

Glad to be back to blogging again too.  LINKING THIS post to the following sharing opportunities with thanks to the hosts:
