been traveling


While stored posts were going up, we've been on a glorious trip to Berlin, Magdeburg, down the Elbe River to Czech Republic, and Prague.

I went with all sorts of art supplies, but did only a few sketches as the trip began. We had so much to take in, a lot of ground to cover.

Drawing the scene on the bank from a moving boat was a challenge I didn't take on.

But I did keep a thorough journal of the trip, including ephemera of the places we went. And we have three gigs of photos to go through.

So in posts to come there will be evidence of the wonderfulness of old Europe, new freedoms, and daily life in former east Germany and Czech Republic.
