Orinda News goes international: Michael Beller, his wife, Karen Paulsen, and Paulsen’s 92-year-old mother, Orinda resident Julia Paulsen, take “The Orinda News” to Tabor, Czechia, where they dressed in medieval attire and joined the town’s sister-city parade. The photo was taken before the parade began. (L-R) Slavka Ruzicka, parade worker/sign holder-name unknown (sign was supplied by Tabor), Michael Beller, Karen Paulsen, Julia Paulsen, Amalie Zahradnickova, Eric Stoklasa, Suzana Marsikova and Tomas Marsik. “I think this might be a nice travel goal for some of the more adventurous Orinda residents,” said Beller, who also visited Tabor’s library and met with their librarians for a few hours. “It was really an amazing trip.” The photo, taken by Martin Kraus, is father of former Tabor student Adam Kraus.
Waiting for the games to start. Mark Bell checks up on local Orinda sports before entering the Colosseum in Rome.
