Churchill and his new muzzle (to satisfy the German transportation system)

In Rome do as the Romans, says the old adage (which has been heavily disrespected in today's world, by the way - today it is more like, "in Rome, the Romans must adapt to the foreigners" - but that is a topic for another time). Then, we had to learn the rules about a dog using the public transportation system.

The rule is: dogs must wear a muzzle all the time (in practice, only if a passenger complains, but we decided to follow the rule 100%). We found the nearest pet house, Fressnapf, on Zeppellinstrasse 57. The photo shows Churchill wearing a muzzle for the first time ... and hating it. 😇

Em Roma, faça como os romanos, diz o velho ditado (que tem sido fortemente desrespeitado no mundo de hoje, a propósito - hoje é mais como "em Roma, os romanos devem se adaptar aos estrangeiros" - mas isso é um assunto para outra hora). Então, nós tivemos que aprender as regras sobre um cachorro usando o sistema de transporte público.

 A regra é: os cães devem usar uma focinheira o tempo todo (na prática, somente se um passageiro reclamar, mas decidimos seguir a regra 100%). Encontramos a casa de animais mais próxima, Fressnapf, na Zeppellinstrasse 57. A foto mostra Churchill usando uma fucinheira pela primeira vez ... e odiando-a. ðŸ˜‡

Bulgarian restaurant in Vienna

In our first evening in Vienna, we went to investigate the area near our apartment and we found Seasons, a small Bulgarian restaurant.

At the end, I enjoyed the meal along with Bulgarian beer Zagorka. - - - - Na nossa primeira noite em Viena, fomos investigar a área perto do nosso apartamento e encontramos Seasons, um pequeno restaurante búlgaro. Enquanto Denise aprecisava um schnitzel, sempre bom, eu tentei o Gyuvetch, um prato búlgaro, que acredito ter o nome do lindo pote de argila que é servido. As fotos contam a história. No final, eu gostei da refeição juntamente com a cerveja búlgara Zagorka.

Geodetic Observatory Pecný and the village of Ondřejov

Image
We spent two weeks at the Geodetic Observatory (GO) Pecný, located in a hill 1.5 km near the village of OndÅ™ejov. OndÅ™ejov itself is about 1 hour by public transportation from Prague. A bucolic and picturesque place, located inside a forest. We stayed in a small cottage they have for visiting researchers and scholars. GO Pecný date back to the 1960's and their main activity was the determination of astronomical latitude, longitude and azimuth, evening operations. Later on, they started to perform satellite photography, also evening operations. Therefore, an infrastructure was necessary for the scientists and technicians to stay overnight. The main office building, built at that time, had offices each one with a bed, and every floor had a kitchen, bathroom and shower. Today, a similar way of working exists. The scientists, engineers and technicians may spend two or three days living in the office, doing the rest of the work in other places such as Prague, Plze ň ,  or even at t...
