Now, Students, It’s Time for the Slide Presentation.

We all know what this means! Yep, our photos are now available for your viewing online. As usual, we took more pictures of places than of people, so you’ll get lots of cool architecture and medievil city scenes, but you won’t see photos of us doing silly or obscene things. Well, perhaps there are a few of those…you’ll just have to dig around. I can think of one example of Randy doing something with a sculpture in Munich that did get the guards’ attention (two of the guards started laughing, actually).

To view the pictures, just follow the “Karl’s Photo Gallery” link on the bottom right of this blog. The photos are in albums by city (Munich, Grenoble, Lyon, Paris). You get the picture…literally! If you go there you’ll get the pictures! Too funny.

Randy returned last night. We had a fancy home-cooked meal of frozen chicken pieces and frozen vegetables (well, they started off as frozen, we did ultimately heat them up in the microwave). YAY – life is back to normal!

    Hey, Welcome Back!

    On my first trip to France I discovered how weird the bathroom plumbing was. This was many years ago, but then there were two kinds of flush systems. On the newer model, the water shot down the back of the bowl as if under pressure and took whatever was in the bowl and propelled it up the front and over the rim, depositing it on the floor. You learned very quickly to flush and immediately step sideways.

    The older models featured a cascade of water into the bowl, lots of foaming and splashing, and when that was all over everything in the bowl was exactly where you’d left it.

    Will, I remember my first trip to EU back in 1995. I remembered thinking I should have taken pics of each toilet I saw or used (many not used … too disgusting). Everything from the hole in the ground types to the oh what were they thinking on this flushing design.
