I'll check my passport, but I think so.........
Lunch at a local restaurant in Limoux with a cold bottle of Cremant de Limoux that has been recommended by the proprietor or our waiter should be perfect. Not unusual to take their recommendation for the meal, as well. We're easy to make happy with good food and vin.

Not back long ago from spending 10 days in Prague. It was a most excellent trip with a half marathon run and a few cycling (mtb) tours with Biko Adventures as well.

Pete, I enjoyed your photos of Prague - one of my favorite places once you get out of the tourist center. I really like your picture of Fred and Ginger

Thanks so much! Yes we stayed at the Taste of Prague Food Tour owners' apartment (above the running mall and next to bio oko cinema) across the river in a very residential section but just mere blocks away from Letnae Park and also the exhibition grounds. It was wonderful!

Just had lunch in Sloppy Joe’s in Key West. Excellent «*Havana*» nachos and pina colada and a most entertaining ragtime/blues pianist who knows Karen’s nephew (also a keyboard player from NOLA). Normally avoid tourist places, but had a very good time.

Next week I am heading out for a 14 day working trip taking me to Paris, Loire valley and Bourgogne. I hope the weather is turing for the better. As of now it is raining every other day.

I have tentative plans with my fiancé to take the Trans-Siberian train from St Petersburg to Vladiovostok in about two months. It will be my first significant trip this year, and the waiting is killing me.

Bob, If you are a reader, try “Riding The Iron Rooster” by Paul Theroux. Would be a cool combination. Craig
