Awww my home for 5 years. God I love Prague. I miss her so much.
I’m fact I used to work in the building on the right hand side you see on the old town square. There used to be a little cocktail bar there - also right in the corner is an Irish pub called Caffreys - used to work there too!
That balcony is the very balcony where communism was declared over in Czechoslovakia

Omg, I ADORE Iceland! I’ve been there for a week/ten days a couple of years ago - and fell in love with absolutely everything!
Hopefully, I’ll visit it again (also in winter, as the first time).

What amazing nature, and what an awesome pup!!
Scary stuff. I was on holiday in Bali when we had a few earthquakes. The biggest one was a 6.
I found it very scary to feel the earth shake beneath me. It definitely ruined my whole holiday 
Good luck at the crossword tournement!!

There was an article this week in the news that a lot of mills have problems with there blades.
There are old and become crappy and break.
It leads to dangerous situations when the wind is heavy 
Your picture of that mill without his blades made me think of that article.
Hope they can find money somewhere to fix them, it would be a shame to loose this historical view.

I miss the tulips, the wooden shoes and the weed

These particular ones are in the Open Air Museum in Arnhem. I assume they are well cared for as part of the exhibition.
There were other ones there too, and I really enjoyed all the stuff we learned about live, technology and buildings in the Netherlands through time.
I always thought windmills were mostly there to mill grain. But I learned yesterday that actually most of the mills in the Netherlands were not used for grain but either as a mechanical power for other industries - for example oil presses, paper makers, saw mills, etc. - or far more important as the engines of the extensive pump systems to drain the land.
The white one on the left is a saw mill and the brown one in front is part of a pump system.
And yes there were tulips and wooden shoes galore

It is. And I found that the people have an amazing sense of humor, are really nice, kind, spontaneous and helpful.
