I love the Moomins! :-) Cute.

I am familiar with the Moomins and their cuteness but have never read any of the books. I must rectify this! Looks like the library has quite a lot, so I'll definitely have a look.
I have watched the Moomins in german tv and read two or three books. I liked them as a child and loved the Augsburger Puppenkiste version.http://www.google.de/images?hl=de-DE&...

LOL
Not as cute as a Moomin, but I promised to tak some of Josh's MCs to Prague with me :-)Well, Swift had to do the classical tour, Charles Bridge and Castle Hill:
We had to get up at 6 in the morning, to have a chance with Charles Brigde! During the day it is impossible to take a picture there (of cause we picked the only cloudy day, but that was to be expected, the way the whole vacation went...)For Connor I searched for something to do with kids and come up with the television tower in Zizkov. A czech artist did those toddlers climbing up the tower and I thought it would keep Connor on his tows :-))
Mod
That was 'so Swift' to want to take the classical tour. ;-)

And the last one is Elliot, of cause. With all his "battlefield seminars" I took him out on the plain of the White Mountain, where one of the most important early battles in the 30-years-war took place. The building on the hillside is the summer residence Hvezda (star), which holds in the basement a very detailled showing of the battle.
Johanna wrote: "I love Prague. Did you see the tiny house Franz Kafka used to live in?"I know what you mean, but not this time - it is now part of the castle-tour, which means you need a ticket just to enter the small lane and it is closed early in the morning and during the nights. Well...
But I used to do my own Kafka-tours, from the house he was born to his school, the Assurance company he worked for and at last to Olsany cemetery, where he is buried. That made for interesting travel through various parts of town :-)
Thank you for the pics, dear Varecia! Your dedication is admirable. I doubt I would get up at 6 o' clock, not even for Josh.Me too I love the town. In fact I've got a standing invitation for Prague, I should just find the time to go back...

Well, it was only 50% for Josh, the other 50% was for my daughter - she wanted to take part in a contest about the best holiday-picture with our "hometown fair-trade chocolate" on it and choose one special statue on Charles Bridge for the foto. So we made a deal, I took that picture and she in turn held the ebook-reader for me, otherwise it would have ended in the Vltava, I'm sure!
Very cool pictures, Varecia, thank you for posting! I've only been on Charles bridge for a few short moments each time I was there. I love Prag. The is town so gorgeous, so much history to discover. :-)

Nice photos, Varecia! Thanks for sharing. Someday I will get to Prague.
Lovely photos, Varecia! You put a lot of thought and time into getting exactly the right location for each character. I hope your caught wins her competition, too -- I couldn't believe how deserted the bridge was.

I know I risk to be stripped of my platinum badge, but I'm can't avoid being honest.

Well, Swift had to do the classical tour, Charles Bridge and Castle Hill:
I wish I was as well-traveled as my books!
Mod
I can tell you, he enjoyed that! :-D
Lovely pics, thank you Varecia! so cool these virtual travels :-)

This particular book has a disposition for travelling. It came from the US via Germany to Finland, so Norway would only be small step... :-D

I was happy :). I have never been so pampered since I was a child, I think. Good food, chocolate, a blanket, Josh's books, discussions about books and authors we love, friendship and laughter. I will never forget this weekend :)

Sounds like you had a wonderful weekend together, Anne and Johanna (and Petri). So lovely. :)

Fun and chocolate is actually the same thing, isn't it? :)
Anne wrote: "Fun and chocolate is actually the same thing, isn't it? :)"Depends on your reaction to chocolate, mine is that I stop breathing, never saw the fun in that :(
Good to hear all you guys had fun together this Summer :)

Don't forget the emotion "friendship" that is also knitted into it :)
