Corrections, Apologies, Observations, Etc.

1. Even those of us with advanced degrees should let our spouses read our blog entries before posting them irrevocably on the web.
2. Sorry for all the typos in the last post. What can I say? I was tired. But how lame is that?
3. As for the layout of photos and text, which is confusing, all I can say is that neither the "compose" window nor the "preview" window in this program looks quite like the actual blog window. In the "preview" window the text and photos did at least mainly line up. I think free programs like this one ought to be perfect, don't you?
4. Grumble, grumble.
5. The largest correction, which eventually I hope became clear to anyone who read this, is that we went with Bill and Sharon to Vienna and then on to BUDAPEST, not Salzburg.

With all that out of the way, another brief travel report: yesterday we took the bus back to St. Gilgen, took the cable car to the top of the Zwölferhorn mountain, had a fine lunch up there, then took a quick look at Fueschlsee (another lake close by) on the way back. It was a hot day, and the buses were packed with people coming out to the beach and going back. The bus going out also had major problems with the air conditioning; we were pretty much parboiled by the time we got to St. Gilgen.

But the views from the mountain were wonderful. On the left you can see the restaurant where we ate under one of the red umbrellas, the end of Wolfgangsee and the village of St. Gilgen, and part of Mondsee in the background. And here's Marlyce with the other end of Wolfgangsee behind her.

Dad, I'd just like to point out that even with a few typos, your blog entries are miles ahead of about 95% of the material on the internet. I wouldn't worry about it too much. Glad you guys had such a good time and got home safe! I'll see you in four weeks!!

Aw. Thanks, Ben. I'm afraid that this blog may go rather dark, now that Gundy is no longer in Salzburg, but maybe I'll add a few final things.

See you soon!
