Pat and Roger apologise that the pictures don’t really show them (that’s Pat on the right and Roger on the left.) They say that when they travel, they’re so interested in what they are seeing, they rarely take pictures of one another. Also, Roger says, that as an architect, he takes way too many pictures…
This week we depart from our normal question and answer format to let the Halls tell you about their trip in their own words. In June of 2011 my husband and I took a Prague/Vienna UnTour, and were very happy with the whole UnTours approach. The best thing was the accomodations! In Prague we…

So the last week’s was a general overview of their trip,…
