Turning The Screw

 This diorama shows the same screw lift type that was in ruins on the miner's route.  Although nonfunctioning, this one's in much better shape.

Peachy Keen

All the bits of the Peach Forest are done.  I've got another piece off my list and, for the first time this year, feel I'm finishing things off.  Too bad the year ends so soon!

Boring

I'm sure this is going to look really neat when it's done, but for now this piece is boring!

The Great Escape

 We did an escape room exercise in Krakow and had a lot of fun stretching our brains.  Andreas, Yvette, and I solved the puzzle and escaped the room!  Yvette's holding our lovely trophy.  If you're at all puzzle or mathematically minded, I suggest you try one of these.



Salt Formations

 There are a variety of salt formations in the mine.  These photos show some of them.

Making Faces

I am mainly working on the top gargoyle heads now.  There's some progress, but it never looks like much because the stitches are so small.


Pizza Retreat From The Rain

 While waiting to go do our escape room puzzle, we decided to get out of the rain and do lunch.  There's a new Italian restaurant next to Yummie that we tried.  The place is very nicely decorated and they were baking cookies, so it smelled fantastic.  We were time crunched so we got basics. I had carpaccio and a salad, and Yvette and Andreas had pizzas.  My carpaccio was good, but not quite as good as Torro Grill's.  The salad was big and filling.  Both of them liked their pizzas, too.  Oh, and Andreas said his milkshake was unfortunately mostly air.
