I have managed to quilt a bit and even finish (except the borders) my Double Delight (a Bonnie pattern) quilt top. I will have to post pictures when I finish it.
We took a week off to go to Austria. We stayed in Vienna at a lovely old hotel and visited 3 other countries while we were there. Each night we fell into bed, exhausted from our day, but I would not have missed this trip for anything. Budapest (Hungry) is a a wonderful old city with lots of history. Of course I can say that about Prague (Czech Republic), Bratislava (Slovak Republic), Vienna and Salzburg also. Each city has wonderful old buildings and stories to go along with them. I was very surprised to find that most of Vienna's old buildings are 'rebuilt' new - old buildings. Vienna was bombed so badly in the war that a good portion of the city was devastate. Most of the building were re-built to look the way they did originally.
If anyone is planning a trip to Vienna, I can strongly recommend using the Vienna City Tours to book day and half day guided tours. They were wonderful and their tour guides speak several languages which was very interesting. The buses were very comfortable and the history lessons were great.
I do have loads of pictures and have posted some on my face book page. Here are just a few from out Austrian vacation.
The first one is the parliament building in Budapest. This was taken from the other side of the Danube. The second one is a Mozart monument in Vienna. There were many monuments in each of the cities that we visited.
