The Mother Arrives - Tuesday, 11/12

The darn plane got in early so I had to skip breakfast, leave my hair wet, and rush off to the airport.  And darn it, the old gal was through customs and waiting for me when I got there. Damn. Oh well, she seemed fine. We got some breakfast and headed off to Regensburg for the night. Not the most picturesque town, but cute and a convenient stop on the way to Prague. The first day can be rough after the overnight flight, but Mother has been a little trooper. Here's the view from our room.

We missed the last little tour bus of the day, but covered the basics on foot.  The old Stone Bridge is undergoing massive construction efforts so it has lost a lot of its charm. But the view from the bridge back toward old town is still wonderful. Of course, the organ at St. Peter's Cathedral caught Mom's eye - it's huge. As is the Cathedral. The sun was shining through the stained glass above the entrance in a most impressive way. I'd like to see the glass when the sun is hitting a full side of the building. So much stained glass!!

After a long day, Mom hit the hay early.  I wonder what could I do to kill time till I'm sleepy...

I think we're heading to Prague tomorrow, but we haven't really discussed it. Ya never know what we might do!
