BACK AGAIN 😉 It's been too long....

....and it would appear that Marci, my indefatigable traveling partner, refuses to write on this blog anymore. She feels she has nothing new to say, and that this trip will be too jam- packed to keep up with.
I, on the other hand, feel obligated to stay in touch with all our followers with at least a picture a day.

 SO - IF YOU WANT TO GET THIS BLOG POST AUTOMATICALLY, SIGN UP ( ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE BLOG) ....IF YOU ARE VIEWING THIS ON A PHONE ( the mobile version) you need to click to the WEB VERSION - click at bottom of the page to web version, and find the sign up spot on the upper right side. YOUR PRIOR SUBSCRIPTION IS NO LONGER VALID.
If you want to just look in periodically, go to Google and just search for "Marci and Steve go out for Asian food", or just go to www.marciandsteve.blogspot.com. 
All ways will get you there.
I know my writing will be sub-standard compared to Marci's deep insights, but I'm all you get for now. Poor typing,  grammar, and spelling will be standard features. 
Stay tuned for my insights and observations from Hong Kong, Thailand, and other Asian ports of call.
It's good to be back on the road....

Taking the Waters in Marianske Lazne There are three 'famous' spa towns in Czech, the most popular Karlovy Vary, but we choose to spend a couple days in the smaller spa kingdom of Marianske Lazne, or better known in German as Marienbad. Before we got on the road for the spa, we decided to head into Plzen town to visit the reputedly second largest in Europe and third largest in the world synagogue. It was impressive and big but we are not sold on the claims, it didn't seem much bigger than synagogues at home. But we also got in a little walk around the town square and saw interesting fountains and some wonderful sgrafito on buildings.  Perhaps the funniest moment on the square was hearing a group of Czech children singing Heads Shoulders Knees and Toes in English, as a way to start learning the names of body parts. We were tempted to join in. In about an hour, we arrived at the Falkensteiner Spa right on time and checked into a beautiful room in a lovely hotel not really kn...

August 7 Last Day in Pest

Budapest-Strolling About and Rolling Out After our leisurely day of almost nothing but swimming, we had to cram in as much walking, seeing, drinking, eating and feeling Budapest as possible in one long day.  Coffee, post office (yet another box and another $75 to send home more of our clothing we no longer needed and a few souvenirs), and then into St. Stephen's Cathedral to see another ornate interior of dark rose and dark gray marbles, detailed decorative painting in lieu of the usual bright mosaics and the shriveled blackened hand relic of St. Stephens.  Planning and cramming the day was a bit difficult as the sites are more spread out than in other city centers with only three metro lines that connect at one station. So, we figured we would knock off the northern most site first, the huge and spectacular looking Parliament. It was already hot enough that we were walking only on the shady side of the street and I had even started copying the Japanese tourists and was using ...

#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...
