Thank you Amanda for your kind comments on my recent reports. I enjoyed weekends at both places. There was so much to see there. And mingling with the locals at the places of nightlife was refreshing. Nevermind the sights, about which people can read in guidebooks. Oh, and the swimming pools and baths of Budapest? Priceless!

I guess you have already explored all the qualities of Budapest and Prague, so you understand me.... ;)

Best wishes

Hi Amanda,
I have to thank Globo. It gives me all your wonderful pictures from all over the world, reports, tips and comments and has furthermore presented me with 3 real friends. The communication with them is constantly enriching my life. :)
Hope you (and also your mom) are fine!
Enjoy your weekend - Petra

finally a chance to get back. thanks for wandering thru my july 4 pictures of the hamptons. a big weekend for this upscale area, pull out all the stops.

you asked about my strange picture with green things reflected on a black surface. actually just trees reflected in the hood ( bonnet? ) of a $100000 dollar BMW SUV parked in Water Mill. Caught my eye, this the best of three tries.
As for the ponquogue bridge, the old wooden structure was a bottleneck for both cars and boats in the old days. the shinnecock inlet leads to a canal that cuts hours off the cruising time for yachts going from the atlantic up to the bay on the way north. Cars and boats tied up for hours in the summer. one can see the remnants of the old bridge now a fising pier on the far side of the inlet right next to the new bridge.

nice images of angkor wat - when we visited thailand in 1970 and went to ayutthaya folks thought we were crazy and we probably were. be well. n.

Hi Amanda,

You are right about Ta Phrom. Probably without any works this temple would collapse or the trees would damaged it completely in a few years. So it is better to do something when is still not to late. Although you must admitt that until now Ta Phrom looked very romantic....

Have a nice day

Hi Amanda
thank you.this dress is iranian traditional dressing that has been common 200 years ago in qajar dinasty period in Iran.it is composed of a blouse and a vest,a short skirt with that special style,and a trousers that gets close on the ankle.the designs on the vest are all hand made.about the background,its just our homes curtain but it suits the white color of the dress.
nowadays iranian women do not wear such cloths.but when wanting to introduse iran in international ceremonies these are very good symbols of Iran.
all the best
farnaz.

Thanks again

Hi Amanda
Thank you for your message. Yes the sea lion climbed on board because he knew he would get some food.
I uploaded just another pic of it, just for you.

You're reports are very good, I'm very jealous of your Iceland and Peru trips. And if you still want to see Canadian Mounties come out west! I see them all the time and there are beautiful little towns where they are the only police.
