Returning home ::
Tuesday night, I got packed, set the alarm for 5:30 (taxi due at 6:30) and was ready to lie down and sleep by 12, but sleep wouldn’t come. Anxiety about travel?

I made the best of being awake by playing some music and looking up place names for photo captions. For fun, have a look at a Czech computer keyboard layout sometime; there are more accented characters than French or German. Unfortunately I couldn’t find a way to get the correct characters into my photo labels—looks like iView only knows about the MacRoman character set, which doesn’t have all the Czech characters needed for places like Nové Město, Vyšehrad, Ûzejd, and Malá Strana. Ah, I could write the Unicode numbers there as I just did here... ...
