HAPPY NEW YEAR from Germany!

Shortly before midnight on New Years Eve our town comes alive! 100's of people come out to set off their fireworks. It is very loud and very smoky and a whole lot of fun!

Family dinner

Today we had an early Christmas get-together with our family who are here with us at BFA.

Checking out the new(sleeping) baby. Why did he have to sleep the whole time?!

It is wonderful to have Luke home with us for Christmas!

THE place to stay in Prague

The Czech Inn in Prague. A wonderfully modern, clean, quiet hostel very close to a major tram stop. Highly Recommended. www.czech-inn.com

At the reception doors with Luke and Tyler.

It's hard to get good pictures of the apartment we rented. Outstanding rooms, bathroom, and kitchen.

Some interesting faces seen in Prague
