Plitvička Jezera, Croatia
As we walked around Plitvice Lakes National Park there were waterfalls at every turn! Some of the most beautiful waterfalls in the world are found in Croatia.

It was our last day in Prague, the day before we had gone on a walking tour all over Prague, knowing now some places we wanted to re-visit, we again walked all over Prague, which by the way, is a very safe city! I went off on my own for a little while and once again, crossed the Charles Bridge, taking in the busyness of it all and enjoying the sights and sounds of Prague. And of course, snapping photos as I crossed!

As we started our cruise on the Vltava River, our guide told us that the best place for photographs would be on the back of the boat. So, I went back there, sat in a chair, put my feet up and enjoyed the ride! As we turned to go under the Charles Bridge I took this photo.

We went on a walking tour of Prague, so by the time we arrived at our cruise I was ready to put my feet up and RELAX, as we went along the Vltava River! In the distance you can see Charles Bridge, named for King Charles IV who started it’s construction in 1357, it was completed in the 15th Century.

We went on a great walking tour around Prague. Our Guide Jan, (Honza is what his family calls him), said he would take us to the Metro at the end of our tour. So, when it was over, while we waited for him to help the other people on our tour get to where they needed to go, we stood by this clock. When Jan returned I asked him if it was worth it to wait and watch the clock go off (it does every hour on the hour). His response was, “Let’s wait!” So, we did, we visited for the next 15 minutes and then we saw it go! The two little doors opened and the 12 Apostles appeared two by two. The skeleton, on the right, pulled the chain and the bell tolled. It only last a matter of seconds, but it was worth the wait!
This is an amazing clock! It tells the equator, time, zodiac, 24 hour clock, ancient Czech time, moon revolutions, star time, sunrise and sunset, year & month, to name a few things! It is the oldest running astronomical clock in the world.

I thought for the next few days I’d show you some beautiful photos of Albania. We were privileged to go there in 2005 with our daughter who served an LDS Mission in Albania. What a wonderful experience it was as we meet the lovely people of Albania and felt her love for this ancient country!

As we flew from Rome, Italy to Tirana, Albania, I was trying to get the perfect photograph, when the pilot tipped our planes wing and I was looking right down on this farm! I was pleasantly surprised at what a wonderful time we had in Albania! The people are so warm and friendly!
