The Old-New Synagogue still needs a separate payment, although it's a part of the museum.

Did you go to the New Jewish Cemetery? There are marble (I think) slabs stuck onto the wall that encompasses the necropolis with inscribed names of people who died during the Holocaust. Next to each name there is the place where the person died. It's really poignant when you see such places as Treblinka, Auschwitz-Birkenau, Belzec.

OH!
you poor thing, you are not very lucky with your camera while on holiday!

more is to come, they will be better.

I went to Brussels to work there for three days, after work, I enjoyed my time off as you can see!
Antwerp is not too far, so it was good!
I hope it will bring back good memories.
I had only 4 hours in the city of Antwerp, better than nothing! But I had time to load myself with tasty Belgium Waffles!

I will upload some more next week.

Take care

Hi David,

Thanks for your wishes and your constant encouragement. I was pleasantly surprised to win RoM as well as AoM. It motivates me to further continue sharing my travel experiences with all of you :-)

Hi David,

This is what I know about Cornish. It became extinct in the 18th century as a first language. It was revived as a hobby by several thousands of people.

In 2003 (the last year I was teaching linguistics) there were 500 speakers who used Cornish and about 100 who spoke it fluently.

Okay, this is 4 years ago, but I can't imagine things have changed dramatically.

If there are any Cornish Globos they will send me a note (I hope).

..... Dear David, as you say, we might seem to have more time now for GLOBO but think about the advantage and time the youngsters still have in future decades. Also, how it is now so easy to travel in the 21st century and how digital photography helps capturing travel scenes and brighten up presentations! ...... RR

Congratulations David, I see that the visitor counter for your GLOBOpages will pass the three million mark tomorrow around noon. You get to have very pretty new fans too, i'm jealous! :-(

Hi David!
Thank you so much for your kind words.
The chaple of bones was unbelievably eerie, especially the skeletons hanging from the walls... the photo doesn't do it justice you're right. By the way all of your photos are beautiful, you're a very talented photographer.

Hi David,
Thanks for reading my Connemara report. I am sure that this is part of the world you will enjoy (if only because it is not too hot). We had glorious weather, sun all the time.
When will you go to Scotland?

I was delighted to see you chosen as Member of the Month. I think you add so much to this site. I enjoyed the discussion on your summary report - it opened up a lot of possibilities and insights.

Congrats!
