Ira's back
Hi all,
As MacArthur said, "I have returned".
It's about 05:00 here in Madison.
I am not suffering from jet lag.
Our cats decided to tear a hole in the porch screen and escape.
They didn't know about the new timer for the water system.
My Lady Wife was awakened at 03:30 by two wet cats crying for help.
I was awakened at 03:45 to assist in retrieving two wet cats.

Summary of our visit to Europe.
Full report to follow.
We flew into Munich, rented a car and drove to Salzburg for a few days. From there we drove to Hallstatt and toured some lakes.
Hallstatt to Fuessen to see the castles.
Up the Romantic Road to Rothenburg, via Linderhof and Wies, for two nights and then down to Lake Constance (Bodensee).
Long day's drive to Beaune - stayed for a few days - then on to Alsace and Nancy.
Nancy to Filderstadt (near Stuttgart Airport), and then home to ATL.
A very nice 3 weeks of good food, good wine, great scenery and lovely people.

Welcome back to the bosom of the Midwest, <i>mon ami</i>. There's no place like home. Sorry about the wet cats...but they got what they deserved, huh?
Anyway, count me among those looking forward to your report!

Thanks for the welcoming words, folks.
It took me two days to rescreen the porch.
I'll be working on the trip report now.
Hi PQ,
Hallstatt was very nice. The season was just beginning. Flowers in bloom, beautiful weather, great views, not particularly crowded.
