"Only" 94 degrees today


Did y'all know there was going to be a total lunar eclipse this week. In our area, they're saying the best visibility should be Tuesday morning from about 5:30 - 7:30 a.m. I guess I'll have to get up and out to look. Maybe I'll let John get up first, and then come wake me if it's not cloudy.

We spent some time today looking at material and books we have about Prague, Budapest, and Vienna. We found the streets of our apartments in maps in The Lonely Planet books. John found restaurants in the neighborhoods, and locations of nearby metro stations. We're starting to assemble stuff, making lists, and getting excited. We're definitely getting into travel mode. John's just looked and found the apartments on Google Earth.

Just in case you haven't figured it out, we're going with Ann & Al on a 3-week trip to eastern Europe...one week each in Prague, Budapest, and Vienna. It's looking to be a great trip. There'll probably be gaps in postings, but I'm hoping to get some computer time at least once or twice while we're gone.

Today's picture is of rising dawn in the Valley of the Gods.
