Greetings from Prague!

That was freaky. I refreshed the thread, and saw a new post, by me!! :eek:

Hey, try not to ban anyone while you’re at it, OK? :smiley:

What??? Why in the world do you think I married a moderator, anyway?

:smiley:

Aw. Okay, thanks for trying to remember, though. I should have gone back to look for it as soon as I noticed it missing, but I’d already locked my keys inside the Pension, and everyone was heading to the tram stop already. :frowning:

Hooray!

My enduring memorable line from the weekend. After “It is prohibited to swim in your pants”

Another enduring memory from the weekend was that lady (who wasn’t me) kissing kferr on the back of the head in the pub. I’ve never seen him blush before!!

By the way, Heloise, did you get to that mushroom shop Tomcat was telling us about?

Darnit, no. What with all the trying-to-plan, we completely forgot about it until it was too late. :frowning:

However, I’m hoping that when Tomcat comes to visit us in Amsterdam, he’ll bring some. Of course, only if he’s driving. I don’t think it would be a good idea to try to bring it on a plane.

… and since he doesn’t own a car… :slight_smile:

Now, now, dear. There’s plenty of shrooms in Amsterdam. We don’t need no stinkin’ Czrooms! We’ll get some local produce.

Just don’t drive after dinner. :smiley:

I don’t know which idea is more amusing to me - Heloise banning someone as Coldfire or Coldfire writing someone an admonishing post as Heloise.

Hello all-

Yer makin’ me blush!

I had a great time hanging out with everyone, I hope we can do something like that again. I have gotten quite busy since you left…WHY DIDN’T YOU TAKE ME WITH YOU? A’dam and the UK sound like great places to be, if not just because they are not here! (Yes, I just took another exam this morning…6 weeks, 3 days, 23 hours and 15 minutes until I am done; not that I am counting or anything).

wolfstu, do you want me to get in touch with Filip?

Thanks for the great time, y’all come back now, y’hear?

Actually, yeah, that’d be really cool. It’s probably a lot easier for you than me. It’s a disposable camera, brand “AGFA” (looks just like this)

If he’s got it, I’m not sure how to recover it. If Maastricht has it, I can easily meet her in Maastricht.

In other news, where are all those digital photos, everyone? :slight_smile:

Okay, Jack and I got home late last night. And here they are…<drumroll>… the pics !

I made two albums on Phototrail. Here’s the one with pictures of Dopers. And here is a tiny selection (Jack made loads and loads more!) of pictures of the city during our visit.

If anyone wants me to send them a large, printable version of any picture, I’d be happy to ! Just drop me an e-mail.

Maastricht, you got to Kunta Hora after all! Excellent.

Great photos, Maastricht!

Wolfstu, I’m very sorry about your camera, but I somehow didn’t get the request to ask Filip for it. So I don’t have it. But I look forward to seeing you for a tour of Maastricht anyway !

Well, Jack and I got back at 10 PM yesterday. Getting *out * of Prague apparently isn’t any easier then getting into the city. It took us at least an hour, (Hah! Beat you, **Coldie ** and Heloise!) hobbling over tiny roads, following heavy German trucks to no avail because they, too, were hopelessly lost. Prague seems to be extending new roads for the new economy so fast, its maps have trouble keeping up. I’ve never seen so many roads before just ending or starting out of nowhere, being temporarily detoured, or being new.

Thanks Tomcat for organizing and hosting the event. You were as charming and knowledgeable a host as we could possible hope to have.

In case anyone’s wondering what impression they made, I think you’re all adorable people. I’m serious. I’d love to have any of you over for Maastricht-Dope!

OK, OK, OK… I’ve been busy, but I will try to upload my photos tonight. Honestly. :slight_smile:

And yes, thanks for your pics, Maastricht! Most excellent. :slight_smile:

I’ve got a few photos here. This is running on my home system with a 128m upload speed, so be patient. The last one is the special cane we spotted for Heloise, with a plum brandy bottle for pain killer and a bell to get tourists out of your way!

Thanks for those, kferr!! Nice quality, too.

Folks, my home PC is unfortunately offline for the time being. Hopefully I’ll get it sorted out this weekend, and then the photos will be posted. Honestly. :slight_smile:

Cool! Great photos folks!

Wolfstu, Filip has your camera; I will get it in the next week. Email me your address and I will mail it to you. That or hold onto it for years and years and then send it to you when you least expect it, thus dredging up memories of your time in Prague. Your choice.

Oh, that’s excellent! Thanks a lot. I’ll contact you by email.

Oh, man! I love the cane!!! Pity we didn’t find the same shop, that cane is cool. Ah, well. Thanks for the pic. Next time we head to Prague, I’ll get the cane. If I still need it. Hopefully I won’t.
