Holy Cow!


Here you see the cows in the field opposite Holy Cross church who seem to be quite interested while Marty was photographing the church. 

















 Makes one think that things must be pretty slow up on the hill where these gals graze. 

You can see the picture of the church as well as the statue in front of St. Willibrord on my Flickr site.

 I'd like to share an interesting experience today involving, of all things, the bathroom in the restaurant where we ate a wonderful afternoon meal. I was amazed at the feature on the toilet when I flushed. Suddenly, part of the back of the toilet moved forward, and I had expected it to squirt a disinfectant into the bowl. Much to my surprise, the toilet seat suddenly became contorted, as if it were rubber, and it began to move around, forming an oval and moving under this extra part that had swung forward. 

Before I knew it, the seat had rotated around 360 degrees, and the arm that had extended moved back into position. I actually thought about flushing it a second time and filming it with my camera, but I thought that might be a little over the edge. So, those of you who might have enjoyed such a film will just have to use your imagination. Unless I stumble upon another, where I just may be tempted.

  1. I'd love to see the picture of the toilet, Barb! When you return, I'll share my favorite Austrian toilet stories with you. I'm STILL laughing over some of the lunchtime conversations we had while in Austria centering around the toilets.... Jo Ann

  2. This is a new one to me. I'd love to see a photo. And foreign bathrooms are very interesting to me. I've been particulary fascinated by ones in Germany. Though the US has incorporated some by now, I remember a trip to Germany about 8 or 9 years ago, when it took me about 45 minutes to figure out everything while my family waited for me to give them a tutorial.
