Travel with the Kearleys and the Hatfields as they travel behind the Iron Curtain.  We depart tomorrow on our journey.  Alabama continues to set high temps for the fall of 2019.  We packed our jackets for this trip because the highs where we are going range from the mid 50's to the low 60's.  We hope when we return home the fall temps have finally arrived.
Budapest's origins began in the Old Stone Age and Prague came into existence in the 700's.  Alabama became  a state in 1819.  Take a trip back in time.  We will share the history, the cuisine, the wine, and our pictures with you.  We will talk again when we have crossed the Atlantic and landed in Budapest.
