Day 90: the sun came out in Strasbourg!

#89

Day 89: rode bikes around Strasbourg today. Finn taking a break in front of the very modern train station (that he calls the potato).

#87-88

Day 87: we arrived too late to go into the old Jewish cemetery, but took this one by partially climbing the wall and holding the camera up. The burial space is so small, they were buried 12 deep in some places.

Day 88: today will be spent on four different trains as we make our way to Strasbourg. So this photo is actually from yesterday, a fabulous Vivaldi concert at the klementium.

#85-86

Day 85: cool little house we say from the train, as we entered the Czech Republic.
Day 86: main square in Prague and the sun is just peeking out! Of course, it didn't warm up, but so pretty.

#84

Day 84: toured old town of Salzburg. Kept ducking into shops and cafes to warm our toes and get out of the snow!

BAW52/12

This one didn't turn out exactly as I envisioned, but it was a fun experiment and I got to play with my riveting tool.

#83

Day 83: spent most of the day on the train to Salzburg. So when we arrived, we decided to walk a bit of the old town before it got dark and too cold for even Canadians like us. Near the Salzburg cathedral there is this awesome gold globe sculpture and an active game of street chess going at all times. Bronwyn and Finn were taking notes so when we go back tomorrow they'll be ready!

Day 82: funky chair, art, bouncy thingies near our hotel in Zurich. Not exactly warrior pose :)

#68-70

 day 68: went to a fun romans v scots party where a lot of gladiators were in attendance...and one very irreverent pope :)

 day 69: another fun day of sledding.  finn and his buddy insisted on lugging home these huge snowballs!

day 70: i TRIED to make a lovely new dish in the crockpot (thanks lisa!).  however, trip shopping conspired against me and it cooked a little longer than it should have.  in case you don't recognize that 'oatmeal-like substance', it's rice :)  nice flavor though.  we named it 'jambalaya oatmeal'.  the kids were not impressed.

BAW52/9 & 10
