NEED HELP - Intellectual type only

  I am asking the vast blog audience Marci has created for some help.....
 
I have seen the same curious thing in 4 counties now ( Czech Rep., Hungary, Austria, and Slovakia) , and I have no idea what it is.  Have attached photos, but basically this is a wooden hut, on stilts, always in a farm field.
   


It is almost always way in the back of the field. 

What is this called? What is it used for?

I am a real believer in crowdsourcing, and the 'wisdom' of groups...so,I figure that between my foreign   friends, and my more rural friends that someone can enlighten me.
No prize for this, but I will share the answer with all, and who the smart person is...

Thanks,

Steve Schwartz

#120 - SURPRISE....ONE LAST READ WITH YOUR MORNING COFFEE

Did you think we wouldn't do a wrap up - the woulda, shoulda, coulda list along with our very salient observations of the current state of fashion, food, and fun in France and Spain?   Well, we got a bit sidetracked. So here is the last of Paris and the rest of the Euro 2019 blog.  Our last night in Paris, Laurent returned and we had a dinner at Eels as planned. About a thirty minute walk (perfect, since once we are home I can't get Steve walking at all) but it was raining, so we hopped in an Uber and headed over to the 10th arrondissement in heavy traffic.  Rather than describe the great five course chef tasting menu we did- here it is in photos.  Everything was excellent, especially the bottle of Pinot Noir- too bad it was their last one and we had to switch wines for the next bottle - but that is the only criticism.   The next morning we were packed, said our goodbyes, and were off to the airport for our non-stop to Dulles...

#34 - Sometimes travel is just everyday life with better scenery and a few more meals out

....And I've been doing it wrong the whole trip???   Now you finally tell me?? Travel always sounds so exotic, especially when you take a long plane ride to get there. And a two or three week vacation is usually packed so full, long days, lots of activities and moving from place to place. In other words, every day is a day of nothing but highlights...the major museums, the thrill activities and a fancy dinner out. But a two month vacation is quite different. It is closer to regular life with one or two good surprises each day. Like our drive to Blenheim, a sleepover, and a ferry ride from Picton to Wellington  on Tuesday to Wednesday . It was really nice and I could describe what we did, the drive, the vineyards we visited, the dinner, etc. But this blog is meant to be more than just a travelogue. It's about observing and learning, looking at things with distance and perspective.  And traveling to a very far away place that is not so different than where y...

Follow The Yellow Brick Road

Follow The Yellow Brick Road!!!!!  OR  We're Off to See the Wizard, the Wonderful Wizard of Oz It's early morning, November 9th, Philadelphia. The sun is shining, Fall is crisp in the air. The house is clean, the linens freshly washed, the dishwasher unloaded, the fridge empty. The weekend had Shelby and David here, and  Sunday  dinner with Spencer for the last pre-trip kids 'fix'. It has to last a while. The car is sleeping soundly in the suburbs, there's no milk left for coffee, the bills are paid for months ahead. Itineraries are given out both for and to prevent emergencies, goodbye calls, emails and texts are sent and received. And we are packed! Again, each with precision in the same orange 24" suitcase from our last big adventure. Black and white color palette will reign, a repeat performance (let's hope it never goes out of style or good taste), shoes are always challenging and this time, along with rain gear and hiking boots for t...
