I took the 5 day trip, which I found was just wonderful. We saw so many different laces most of them modern and just beautiful. The trips to the various museums were very long but worth while. I can't even say which was the most beautiful, since they all were so, from laces to wear to lace on costumes and in paintings.
I was most surprised to discover the lace at the Jewish synagogue exhibition in Prague. From all I know lace making was not exactly a Jewish heritage, yet here in Prague I saw the most beautiful things and pretty old too. Since I know that my roots come from Moravia, or Bohemia (we still haven't figured it out in the family) , I guess that I got some of my lacemaking genes from there.
Leonard, I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. After our ways separated on that day I continued to the other Jewish synagogues and the old Jewish cemetry, then had enough and went back to the campus.
Meeting so many arachnes and so many new faces was just great. I was just telling a friend of mine, who I think is a lurker, that she has to join me to Greece in 2006 .
There is so much to tell but I'm still to tired to think straight . My flight left Prague at 01.30 arrived here at 0600 local time (which is just an hour ahead of Prague), drove two hours to get home and have been on the go ever since.
I hope that all the other arachmese returned home safely and that Jean's luguage has arrived.
