let's all start tagging and rating stuff so we can see just the slice of the Cafe we want.
Can I make a suggestion? Now that there is a bunch of us. let's start using the rating system for videos and photos. I hesitated to suggest it, because I think there are so many good things, and I want everyone to feel appreciated. But I think , now that we are a bigger group, if would be a real service if you rated photos you LOVE highly. That way,people who have a limited amount of time for browsing, can view the ones that everybody seems… Continue

Clotheslines, Kovers, and ties that bind
El Kover and her husband Bill, some well-loved Untourists, recently spent a couple of days in Media, PA where our offices are. We had invited them to come to witness The Today Show filming (which we need not discuss in this space.) Rather today, I want to thank El for being such an observant and thoughtful person. On her first visit to our house she noticed the clothesline
running from our second floor balcony. Later she showed up with two…

The USA Summer
Our summer trip to the USA in RI is about to end. We are always ambivalent about going “home” to CH. It, as always, has been a busy time.
Children and grandchildren all like to come to Newport, and we are always ready to see these precious people in our lives. It is always a joy to see these kids and grandkids and to hear how their lives are changing. There are members of Barbara's family that always are ready for some fun times. We get to experience the 24/7… Continue

9/11
We have been going to Meiringen with Untours for so many years, we can't remember how long. When we were stranded in Zurich because of 9/11, we were invited back rent free until we could arrange transport to the USA. This was sort of an extra week vacation clouded by worries about home and really crummy weather. But we were eternally grateful to Untours for the hospitality. This summer one of our "kids" is coming along with daughter in law and grandson. We can't wait to show them our…

"Please click Edit to specify the RSS feed for this box"
Can someone explain to me what a RSS feed is and what I can do with this box?
I'm clueless!"
My Answer:

A Bit of Peru and Panama (and I'm not ready to be back...)
I just returned on Friday night from a wonderful trip; the Explorama interaction with the schools is very much in the Untours tradition, I think.
