We took a river cruise up the Danube |
A very comfortable riverboat |
Very beautiful scenery |
|
|
 |
 |
|
However, it rained 11 out of 14 days! |
The MOST rain they've had since 1501. |
Lots of castles along the way |
|
|
 |
 |
|
And, of course, churches
|
One after the other
|
It's picturesque |
|
|
 |
 |
|
It's Quaint |
Did I mention OLD? |
Rapunzel wasn't home! |
|
|
|
 |
|
Nelson and I found some pretty good pizza
|
Great desserts! |
This guy is the "woulda been prince" of Czechoslovakia - if they still had a monarchy. |
|
|
|
 |
|
This is a way back grandpa' |
...and Grandma (way back) |
A ceiling in one of his 17 Palaces! |
|
|
|
 |
|
Unbelievable stuff
|
All over the place |
We had dinner in the Palace! |
|
|
|
 |
|
That's a cheese he's working in |
We ate so much pizza even I got sick of it! |
Of course we went to several synagogues in several of the ghettos |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
Each had many preserved artifacts |
|
|
|
|
 |
|
Old but beautiful |
|
Really old |
 |
 |
 |
|
The ghetto cemetery |
Since no expansion was allowed they're buried in up to 12 layers |
He just stands there all day |
|
|
|
 |
|
Lois had a birthday
|
|
Rapunzel - still not home! |
