Up to T

All the alphabet is getting done more quickly than the bits around it. 

 

Half the Bulb

 

I have half the top bulb done here. A bit to go, but it should be a fairly quick stitch.

The Barracks

This was actually the barracks where the first battle of WWII began. There were fewer than 100 men. Yet they managed to hold out for two weeks.

 

More Mini Dioramas

Looking at the terrain and set up of the Battle of Waterloo.

 

Westerplatte

This area is where the very first battle of WWII began. It's a beautiful little wooded area along the Baltic coast.

 

Learning About Waterloo

There's a pretty sizable and modern museum at the Waterloo Battlefield, where Napoleon was defeated. This shows some of the dioramas depicting the order of battle.

 

Waterloo

Turns out Waterloo isn't just a song. We visited on a cloudy October day.

 

Plac Koneser

The food tour of Praha ended at Plac Koneser, where we went to Wedel. Wedel is the oldest chocolate maker in Poland, and they make the richest hot chocolate ever. They also make a lot of other stuff.

 

Lunch on the Go

During the interwar and communist periods, it was common for workers to get lunch in a jar. It was full of carbs and protein and edible quickly and on the go. This still happens in a few places today. The restaurants own the jars and you give them back.
