Missed Me?

I love traveling but it's great to be back home, especially to be able to sleep in my own comfy bed.  I've had an adventurous two weeks and just too tired to get into it right now.  Here's a few photos to highlight pieces of the trip:

Beautiful Budapest (pronounced Buda-Pesh), Hungary. 
Buda is the area on the west bank of the Danube River and Pest is on the east bank.

Forgot the name of this little town we stopped at on the way to Prague.
It's so traditional and conservative but the people dressed so trendy,
especially the many young, sophisticated moms pushing around the baby buggies.
None of the vendors spoke English!

This shot was taken at the spot that called "The Most Beautiful View of Prague".

We had to visit the John Lennon Wall in Prague since my kid is a huge Beatles fan.
When he was assisinated, a huge mural of his face was painted on this wall.
Since then, many other artists added to it and you can no longer see the original picture.
Most of the art on the wall is a tribute to John Lennon and the Beatles.

The Jewish Monument is an enormous park with these artistically placed cement pieces,
signifying all the Jews who died in the Halocaust.
This is only a small piece of what's left of the Berlin Wall.  It's a fairly long wall,
stretching a couple of blocks.  Artists were invited to paint murals on it.

Entrance to Auschwitz... it was an overwhelming experience being where so many
were held captive and executed during WWII, the Halocaust.


The Salt Mines in Krakow(pronouned Krakov), Poland.  We had to walk down 100 flights of stairs
to get to the bottom.  Minors created many works of art out of salt during their free time. 
The figures above are made of salt.

I have many more photos and stories I'd love to share.  I know there aren't SUP-related, but hopefully you'll enjoy reading my posts none-the-less.
