Hello guys and hope everyone is doing great. We have been in the Czech Republic for a month, and now in Croatia for a month, with several side trips. It is great to report how eastern Europe is opening up and everyone is ready to welcome the tourist back to their country.  We have noticed how many are hoping for the best and while a few restriction on wearing mask, etc.  exist, they are not fully enforced. The vaccination certificates we have is all we need to go anywhere. The places we have visited are very friendly and eager to open up. We will be getting the booster shot soon and working on that now.

We will be soon going to Montenegro where we will be for the month of November, then on to Albania. These countries are very hilly so we are glad we are staying in shape and up to the challenges ahead.  We foresee no problems in border crossing at this time at all.

Learning to speak Croatian has been a challenge but worth learning at least a little makes for a richer experience. This language is also spoken widely in the next several countries we are visiting, so we hope to get better and better at it.

I have a ton of photos to process and will be adding many soon.

I hope you follow along our adventures as we navigate the world.
