How nice of you to do this. I guess you knew how miserable I am here in Oregon. It was 98 Farenheit one day in Prague and we were all sweating to beat the band. I was expecting to come home to nice cool Oregon air, but let me compose something about my first day on the pilgrimage.

I will certainly join in :) I would love to hear every last detail.

The first day was a travel day. I left Oregon at 6:10 am so that meant staying overnight in Portland, getting up around 3:00 am and to PDX by 4:00 to go through the international flight passporot stuff, etc.

There were six of us who left at that time and the others were spaced out during the day.

We arrived in Frankfurt via United at 6:07 pm and then took a local flight with Lufthansa to Prague. The tour guide was not there at the time we arrived so we took a local shuttle to our hotel. Fantastic driver took us on a scenic tour of Prague, crossing the median two times to avoid the traffic! What a riot! Finally got to our hotel at 12:30 pm their time. Long day -----no?

Others arrived around 3:00 pm., including our priest, Father Gary, and the final contingent arrived around 8:30 pm.

Dinner was on our own so we ate at the small cafe at the hotel -- all the water in the hotels was OK, but I was so apprehensive that I got water for the dispensing machine for one day -- three coins -- about 75 cents.

Our local tour coordinator's husband came down with the flu so they couldn't leave with us at 9:00 am for the walking tour of Prague.

(To be continued)

Yes, welcome back! I didn't know you were gone because I haven't been reading so much here lately but check the board about once a day. Sounds like a wonderful adventure!

I just found this fantastic panorama of Our Lady of Victory in Prague. You will see the Infant of Prague as the picture rotates. It was so beautiful to be in this church, and if I remember correctly, I also lectored that day.
