Schnöly ünd Schnarfling say"look @ the dang pictures"
 
happy happy.


mothers are the best.


without moms, we'd be nowhere.  our rooms would be messy.  we would sleep in too late all the time, and we wouldn't eat very healthy.
Picture
we rode our bike over to Mr. and Mrs. Harcubas house for lunch yesterday.  It was really nice.  We had some onion soup, and some chicken and some potatoes and pickles.  It was all super rad.  (by rad, I mean tasty)  All washed down with the czech beer and some coffee.  I was forced to eat two pieces of black currant cake.

Picture
to get there, we had to ride up this big ass hil and through the pile of tourists all milling about eating sausages on a stick waiting their turn to pay 10 kr. to take a leak.  


At the top of said big ass hill, there is a small replica of the eiffel tower.  


You pay to get up that as well, although not very much, as is the routine.

Picture
at the top of the hill there was some remnants of the communist era.  Really weird.  Its everywhere if you look for it, the residue anyway.  Big bummer concrete structures.  Older people that don't really smile.  the guys that chase you out of the store at closing time.


anyway.


cool stadium.  cool art outside.

Picture
so, yes, we had lunch.  It was good.


the best part, after lunch we got to go next door to Jiris studio, which is next to the embassy for "the peoples democratic republic of korea"   


Jiris studio is soooo cool.  so much work.

Picture
he makes the coolest marks.

Picture
later, after the ride home, and through the park, (where we saw two reddish orange squirrels, the first of the trip!) we went to our new favorite place, Parliament.


four of us had the roast duck.


I had some potato dumplings.  


and some pilsner.  and yes, it really does taste better here.  seriously.




Picture
after we et, we were treated to yet another of the "secret squirrel"s sneaky spots.


through a door, up an elevator, through another door where a guy is carving some clay, and up on to the roof.
serious.


on one of those old copper roofs with loose slate.  in the old downtown area.  soo cool.


we could see down in to peoples living areas, and see thousands of pointy bits and so on and so on.


little rickety metal catwalks leading all over.


we want to go back.


if we're lucky.

great to see bits of the adventure! We'll be at the big 30 celebration later this year. Have a pilsner or 2 (or 3) for me. "humanity has advanced, when it has advanced, not because it has been sober, responsible, and cautious, but because it has been playful, rebelious, and immature."

We are sitting in some funny little cafe in Austria havin some coffee. It's raining hard and steady. We had some fun riding yesteday and this morning. Someimes It looks like the northwest and sometimes it looks like Vermont, but then you come around the corner and then it looks like nothing else. Very far out.

Tens of tons of kinds of bacon that you don't need to cook to eat. Fat you can get if you don't rode the bike!
Tomorrow we go to mondsee.

Now we are in unterach.

This is hard on the iPod
