Well, actually I only lasted a few days. Somewhere in the valley south of Vancouver (lots of berries out that way). Some guy in a pick-up would come by our nice suburban neighbourhood and take a load of teenagers (I was in high school) out to pick for the day. Hard to believe parents would let their teen daughters do something like that now, eh? Marathon in Prague, huh. Maybe I'll go when you go, except that I'll be on the sidelines drinking a beer as you run by. (pm sent) |

If you do marathons, they don't get any better than this one. I have watched it and walked the course over a couple days. I lived just out of Prague for several years, and it is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. The people suck but what the hell, ignore them. lb |

In May I made my 54th trip to Prague, I only plan to do one per year from here on. I plan soon to park my butt on a ridge top in Southern Indiana and stay there. If I can't make it when you go I can give you some good pointers on where to eat. There are some fantastic restaurants there. lb |

![]() Reminds me of my maternal grandmother - similar strong jaw and clean features. Here's a shot when she was a bit younger than 28 and had led a bit easier life to that point. I'm sure by her 40's she looked like the woman above.
