Terry - I don't think I've every been to Winchester - the mystery unicyclist must have been someone else. Daydreamer - I did indeed return safe and sound from my trip and will have more language quizzes for you soon.

Terry - I don’t think I’ve every been to Winchester - the mystery unicyclist must have been someone else.

Daydreamer - I did indeed return safe and sound from my trip and will have more language quizzes for you soon.

If you're o.k., you should give us the next language quiz; I'm starving for them.

This summer, I visited Istria in Croatia and I noticed the bilingual Croatian-Italian signs in all the streets. Linguistic tourism always makes travelling far more interesting. So, enjoy your stay very much. That sounds great. This summer, I visited Istria in Croatia and I noticed the bilingual Croatian-Italian signs in all the streets.

Isn't Sorbian also spoken in that area? Gute Reise! Cycling seems like a good way to tour the countryside. Isn’t Sorbian also spoken in that area? Gute Reise!
