Is this Tuesday?
There was that old movie "If this is TuesdaY , it must be Belgiun" But we are in Salzburg, and I think it must be Wednesdaz. We have been very busy -- but there is so much to see we are all suffering from overload. Todaz we travelled in the Austrian and Bavarian Alps, saw a number of filming locations for the Sound of Music, and lots of churches. This afternoon we saw places associated with Hitlers time. There`s a dinner tonight on the 15th floor and we will all likely go to bed soon after. The weather today was spectacular!!! This has been Grace posting.

G posting as H, because G can't remember her login
in and i cant find the apostrophe or the shifting mechanism for the parentheses. The period however is where it`is supposed to be. I made the mistake of wearing nzlons in walking shoes in Amsterdam, got some blisters and am walking uncomfortablz.
There are however lots of churches and i am enjozing looking around and so far have managed not to fall down anzwabere on account of staring at ceilings. Please excujse extaa letters as this is a German kezboard and there is a z where there should bz a y, and im not hunting for it.

Suitcase on a bed
So, you guys each did another post, and so now I feel obligated to add one also.
I have put my open suitcase on the bed in the spare room, and everytime I run across/use/buy something that should go along to Europe, I will put in in/near the suitcase on the bed. Then it should all be there in ten days, ready to put in. If the pile of stuff looks bigger than the suitcase, I will have to remove items. So much for planning. Did pick up some foreign currency also.
Did some research at www.voyage.gc.ca, and have included in my little black book, embassy and consulate numbers for each place we go, in case of potential problems bigger than all of us.
So far, so good. More later when something actually happens.

Aha!
Saturday after lunch -- I just wanted to see if I could actually find the place again....the place to post something. And I could. So for an update, this: This morning I ordered some U$, some Euros and some CZK's, worth I think 12 cents each. Did you know there's no cent sign on the keyboard so you'd have to say $0.12? Does that mean that laptop manufacturers have jumped the gun on abandoning the penny?

Cute title unavailable
Have created a google account. Had to try this a couple of times. I think I may have misspelled (misspelt?) the password on the first application--ie: when you have to do the password again. Anyway, I started all over. It took longer than it was supposed to, as usual.
So now there's 22 days to go, and in preparation I have made photocopies of the documents and cards I plan to carry with me.
OK, now I've written this and I suppose there's something to click on if one wants this to appear on the blog. I just have to figure out what that is.
Then--I'll try to find it again.
My daughter does get me involved in the darndest things. Actually, if it were not for my girls, I would be sitting in the living room, writing a letter with a quill pen by candlelight!!
