Day One Leipzig, Germany

Spent the evening with friends in town hanging out in the cool European air under an umbrella telling stories and enjoying the moment.

Day Three Prague, Chez Republic

What a great and LONG first day touring this awesome city. The weather was just perfect. Cool 65 with no humidity.


Saw John Huss' Bethlehem Church and heard Chuck Swindoll preach from the same place this great reformer taught his flock over 600 years ago. Huss was burned at the state for teaching against the Catholic church.


Saw an unbelievable, breath-taking castle and chapel overlooking the river. Took 600 years just to build it. Had an indoor jousting facility in the king's palace.


We put about 6 miles on my poor feet today. Seems we have a great group of travelers. Tomorrow Germany!

Day Two Prague, Chez Republic

A nap, a few meetings, workout, and a brief walk down the street. Simple day while we tried to adjust to the time difference and prepare for meeting our bus guests.


Enjoyed another late night stroll with the Kemps... and got to see our good friend Kevin from Boston.

Day One Prague, Chez Republic

All international travel is tough but this trip over has been quite uneventful. Decent seats on the planes, no luggage lost, got to see 15 Mormons ride 12+ hours with suits and ties on (poor guys), and made it to our very nice hotel (Marriott) right after landing.


Blair, from the TV show "Facts of Life," is on our tour. Got to meet her, but didn't tell her I watched Superbowl 30 with Miss Garrett while I lived in LA. We will need something else to talk about later.

We fought through the first afternoon of tiredness by walking around Prague with Paul Sailhammer & Roger Kemp and their wives. We found an outdoor cafe with great food and people watched for a while.


Paul is great to travel with as he has so much knowledge about many local events and landmarks.

The streets are full of people and energy and the town blends old and new very well. Seems puppet shops, glass shops, concerts, and town clocks are very popular.

Mandy and I went to bed before 10pm but I'm already up by 2am... wide awake. The life of a jet-setter! :)
