Tuesday tributes

Howdy Everyone,
Not too much to report from Ukieland today. We slept in late and took in some sightseeing. We actually were able to talk to people today as we met up with a couple from Kentucky. John and Charlene are here doing the same thing as us and are waiting for their second appointment as well. Tonight at supper they got the call that the appointment is for 4:00 tomorrow afternoon. So, good luck to John and Charlene. We spent the better part of the afternoon at St. Michaels Cathedral. The Cathedral was started in 1108. So it is 900 years old this year. Pretty awesome building with gold plated steeples as you can see in the pictures. After that we did some haggling with some souvenier vendors and went to supper at TGI Fridays. Just ready to sit down and watch a dvd and relax. Thanks again for everything that people have done to help with our trip.
Gail and Craig



Check out this handsome guy trying on his new snowblowing and ice fishing apparel. Danny Boy the vendor says that goggles really make the man!!!






This is the panoramic view of the happenings in the square on a Tues. afternoon. Click on picture to enlarge. Way on left side people are skating and having a good time.
We got a few pictures inside the Cathedral before we got scolded.

Don`t really know what the mural was but it was cool enough to take a picture of it. (leads into the entry of the church.)

We see Craig's dressing like the men over there, does that mean Gail is dressing like the women? Keep your spirits up. We are praying for you.

Craig, I thought I saw you wearing the hat and goggles at the race track last summer, don't try to pass this off as something you discovered in a foreign land.

Keep your spirits up.

The fish are starting to bite on Mille Lacs, I'll set aside some Walleye for you guys.

Hi Gail & Craig! So great to hear from you this morning! Everything's good on the home front. I'm not sure if Brady will move back home after having a taste of the bachelor life! We'll keep you guys in our prayers and can't wait to hear future happenings!
Take care,
