OK, so I was bored

The sun was shining and it looked like everyone in the town was out, so I figured why not me. I did prepare to be cold by taking my hat and gloves as well as wearing my coat. Good thing, it looked warm from inside the apartment, but it wasn’t warm. It was cold and when you got it the wind it was freezing!
I didn’t want to look like a tourist (too much) so I didn’t take my big camera set; I took Tom’s small Sony Cybershot. It takes good photos, but I just can’t zoom in like I can with my camera. Landstrul is a good size village, so I didn’t walk around the entire town, just the area near our temp* apartment. * notice that I keep calling it temp.
The first place I stopped was at the statue of a horse and rider, not sure what it means, but check out the guy in yellow in the lower left corner. He’s the postman. I ran into him a few times during my walk. The sign was in the same location, again, no idea what it means. It does show the towns.

The next stop was at some burned out arches. This looks like some of the damage from WWII, but I could be wrong.

Next to the arch is this odd looking wooden “press”. It’s next to the garbage bins, but I don’t think it was intended to be taken away by the trash man.

Just down from the arch I ran across the Irish Pub. Tom and I’ve been by this a few times, but we never seem to catch it open. Funny hours for a pub.

Next on my walk was the local church. I can hear the church bells from our temp housing. They ring every hour (until about 9pm then they seem to stop until after 6am).

Just down from the church is this building, I think it may be part of the church, but can’t be sure.

As I walked back to the apartment, I came across a couple interesting sites.

Hello Kittie is a big thing here so I took a picture of a window in a flower shop.

Also some photos of the local flower shops.

The last photo is the middle of a main intersection in town. This guy wasn’t there the last time I walked this way. Not sure what it means. But he’s either holding a soccer ball or an American basket ball. You figure it out.
