Tomorrow, Waking Ambrose will return in the normal format. In the meanwhile, here are a couple photos from the trip and Walela has an announcement. Thanks to everyone for the story. I threw out my back acting it all out, but enjoyed it nonetheless. Thanks especially to those of you who protected my virtue. Click on Walela for the announcement.

Thanks to Ariel for showing me Budapest. This is a picture of us
(right) looking down towards the Danube.

This is Strasbourg

Finally, here's Prague.

Welcome back, Doug. Amen. We were getting so tired of typing...
Welcome back, Doug! I tried to lose your audience for you ... ;)
I had no idea how exhausting being a full-time curmudgeon could be! Will have to try another computer to hear from Walela. This one wouldn't read it. grrr.
Welcome home, Doug. I look forward to more pics. And I love Walela's announcement. I think the idea is brilliant. Guess I'd better get a microphone ....
As for OC losing your audience -- I believe there was at least one member he captivated -- Al, I saw him there every day ....
Welcome back! I couldn't get the announcement to open up, unfortunately... Are Ariel's feet the ones on the left?
Welcome back Doug.
I think the announcement is a virus, because my work computer won't open either.
I guess I will have to wait until your special show an the Travel Channel.
"Walela Howls in Europe"
FABULOUS pictures, Doug. far more interesting than some of the imagery created for you 3 links below. that said, i, for one, am very relieved to see a shot of your shoe -- hopefully you still have both of 'em. (and i lovelovelove the fact that Ariel is in that shot, with you!)
WELCOME HOME! can't wait to read this Very Important Announcement of yours, and i'll do just that as soon as i download a newer version of Adobe which i wouldn't need otherwise. (so thanks for that exercise in annoyance).
Welcome home Doug! And tell me about it Walela - being cute and expected to work, I mean really!
Sounds like some cool ideas springing forth. So from that perspective, your vacation "worked" and gave you the clarity to forge a new path. Nicely done.
Thankfully you're home before anything untoward occurred. I can't say what another day being batted around may have lead to for you.
You and Ariel look like you had a grand time meeting!
Quilly, thanks for noticing. But, sometimes, it isn't easy to tell the difference between loyalty and an Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
Thanks, Al. It's good to be home.
Thanks, O Ceallaigh. The announcement is a pdf document. Tomorrow I'll post it as a web page so that may work better. And thanks for keeping the bitter candles burning in my absence.
Quill, yes please to the microphone. I noticed some captivity going on over there.
Aral, of course that's Ariel in the sneaker. I'm a fashionable gent who's been to Europe.
Thanks, Brian. It's not a virus its a pdf. Or maybe a virus.
Thanks Puppybrose. Strangely not one person tried to steal my shoe.
G, the Europeans understood that they're either with me or against me. Yes, Ariel is a great host and has a future in the tourism industry as a sight.
Al, I'm not sure there is a difference.
Welcome back...and thank goodness! Some of your readers kept trying to get you killed, among other things.
I really like your black boots, where'd you get them?
Oh and tell Walela I think that was a fun idea!
Welcome back.....squaregirl is telling tales....who would want you killed or **** I ask you....fabrication is what that is LOL.....not that there isn't proof.
Sounds like a winning idea Walela. I'm in.
So cool that you got to meet Ariel.
Nice pic of Charles Bridge. Hope you had a great time. I couldn't open Walela's announcement either? hmmm
By the way, are you the one with the halo or the red hat?
Welcome home Doug. I enjoyed your photos.
I'm glad someone is seeing that dang Ariel...she's been absent too long. Miss her!
Looking forward to hearing Walela tell us some news.
Thanks, Squaregirl. I took them off a dead journalist on the train.
Thanks, Mo'a. I saved the comments and forwarded them to my attorney.
Very cool, TLP. I'm glad you're in. So far we've only heard you say "Hello."
Mistress, I've been very bad. I'll post it as an html tomorrow. For someone reason I can't upload that version from the office. Maybe because I'm supposed to be working.
Neither, G. But I ate the guy in the red hat a few minutes after this photo was taken. Need a coat?
Thanks, Kyahgirl. Yeah, Ariel's still alive or at least walking and talking. I try not to make assumptions in Central Europe.
I was supposed to go to Prague - until the evil budget cut monster came for me.
I don't understand the problem that folks are having with Walela's link. It's just Adobe Reader 7.0.
Love the idea with the readers - but the clutz in me shudders, not knowing how to create a sound file to send :-( Glad to see you back - cool photos!
Walela is a genius, as are her co-conspirators in that plan.
YAY, Ariel a la shoe!
Nice pics,
oh, and btw, welcome back!
Nice touch with the dead journalist. You been gone? Where'd you go? xoxo
Welcome back. Great pictures.
So you're the one who has been sending me all the Gevalia coffee spam. bet you're responsible for one third of all my spam
Oh, I call "Goodnight Moon"! It's my specialty. Well that and "Green Eggs and Ham", but that's rather long.
Welcome home.Loved the Prague pictures, how cool is Prague eh?
I better be in a cameo..at least once or my heart will be broken but it sounds like a plan. Got to change things up a bit here and there.
Nice shoes.
Awwwwww...Karlsbridge! *getting greener in her face* Such and odd and lovely place!
The Story thread beneath has put you on mnay a location, none of them correct it seems :)
I saved your certain death from AL *points finger* I´ll have you know!
Iggy, that sucks. When the good budget fairy returns make a point of it.
I hear you, TLP. Oh, yes I do. They all have browsers, though and today's attempt is a web page.
Terry, if you'd like to email me, maybe I can help you with that.
Thanks, Logo. Good to be home. Now if only I could learn the language.
Mireille, you know you missed me. Tell me you missed me.
Thanks, Goldennib! Oh, and that matter you were hinting at while I was gone is taken care of. You have the official Waking Ambrose Seal of Condonement.
Well, ah, Pia. It just seemed like you needed stuff.
Goodnight, Squaregirl. Good night stars.
Cooper, I promise. Prague is special, definitely. Hey, you're gonna read too, right? "Blue Christmas" didn't get me through the year.
Minka, I was told it was something to see and it sure was. You were first among those protecting my honor. Thank you.
