Well, it is just two sleeps away from our trip to the Bavarian regions of Switzerland, Austria, Germany and Galicia / Halychyna / Галичина or Western Ukraine, the land of my forefathers. This is the area from which almost all Ukrainians have emigrated from to Canada.
I am not sure how frequently I will be updating this blog as vacationing, siteseeing, scenic beers, will all get in the way of sitting in internet cafés.
For the duration of this trip, we will be using Gail's eMail address, which is: gail@lomatski.ca. This will be much easier than trying to plow thru the 200+ eMails I receive daily.
We will be flying into Zurich and taking the train to Luzern (Lucerne) which will be the base for our stay in Switzerland. Weather Underground promises us a nice cool, wet stay in Switzerland. A bit concerned about this trip as my German is pretty much non-existent. As they used to say in Rome, you can get by with Latin anywhere in the Empire. Well, you can get by with English most everywhere on the planet. I bought a new gizmo - a translator with 14 languages, so it will be interesting to see how that works out.
Worried about eating in these Bavarian regions - plates are what we would call platters and the food is primarily meat, sausages, potatoes and sauerkraut! I think I may waste away to nothing (:-)
