Thanks to the Humboldt fog, Sara’s plane could not land and was routed back to SFO. She got to spend the night in San Francisco. She went to the de Young museum for some good art the next day before her flight.

Sara writes:

Seems like…

…MIXED messaging!

Also that Pocatello was hot, but that it was fun to see family.

Sara started her Idaho visit in our former hometown of (you guessed it) Boise, Idaho.

She reports balmy weather and errand running with her mom. Both good Boise things.

This must have arrived on 7/3; there is no mail delivery on 7/4.

Sara writes from the Harris wedding weekend, specifically from the Flying M. The barista apparently was dressed in a full Lord Byron–style cravat and vest. Very fun!

The Engelszell Monastery makes Trappist beer, and Sara and traveling party tasted some on this day.

Aside from this view of the choir stall and organ, Sara reported the presence of a sweet church kitty. Always a plus!

I guess we know that Prague’s postal service is more efficient than Vienna’s as this was posted 5 days earlier than the Prague postcards, but arrived a day later.

Sara says that they saw not only “the Kiss” but also a lot of Klimt’s other work on the first of their two days in Vienna. The second day, she and Shawn planned to explore on their own.

Sara wraps up her trip with these two postcards from Prague

Prague seems to have been a highlight of the trip. Sara tells me that it was the only larger European capitol not destroyed in either of the world wars, and it managed to escape an architectural renovation during Communism. She reports that this postcard was made by a local artist.

On this last postcard from her trip, she tells of their Mucha Museum trip and that Prague is definitely worth another visit.

Sara couldn’t resist sending me this “Disneyfied charmer.” Apparently the long arm of the mouse doesn’t reach all the way to Hungary.

Sara reports a dearth of postcards, which I found to be the case in 2008. I’m sure it’s gotten much worse since then. Sara’s hotel is right on the river; she and Shawn went for a walk and saw the sights.

Look at these fun stamps that came along with the postcard!

This is a very pretty ad card for this event in Northern Idaho.

Sara says hello from finals week in Arcata. She is excited for the semester to be done.
