Adelaidean, thanks for hanging in there with us over these weeks. Hopefully, any future TRs won't be so long; however, this Central Europe trip was special. And packed with a lot of "heavy" experiences.

On a much lighter note: we're headed to New York City for a weekend of holiday festivities and fun.

Hope your upcoming holidays are happy ones.

Tomarkot- Wow, thanks for taking us along on your journey!
Reading that over a few days was a crash course in history for that region. Very well done.

Bdokeefe, thanks for your interest and kind comments on our TR. It turned out to be much longer than intended, but, for us, it's a great journal of our trip. And, would you believe, we have a few friends and family who are interested in reading it?
