2024 Thistle Vacation Diaries

Viewing my travel diaries as I intended: Except for the earliest of them, my diary pages are set up to display pairs of photos side by side, with text between, above, and below them. Because everyone's browser settings are different, they may not display that way on your screen. To view them as I set them up, narrow your browser window until the photos line up in side-by-side pairs and do not touch the ones above or below them. If you can't get that to work, try (in addition) adjusting the size at which text is displayed on your screen. In my browser, that's control-"+" to increase the size or control-"-" to decrease it. Good luck!

SPRING: Prague to Berlin with Viking, then touring with colleagues

The postcard versions are the short accounts I emailed home each day to a group of friends. They download as Word files, which must then be opened.

As I finish writing up the full version for each day, I'll post it, and you'll see the date "light up" and become clickable.
