Using a digital camera, represen- tatives of the St. Louis delegation visited eight different sports during the week of Aug. 16-23. It also for to the opening ceremony and the barbeque at Maybury State Vark, where St. Louis was proud to boast that boys bas- ketball coach Barry Wallis won the pie-eating contest and had great close-up photos to prove it. The photographs and coach's reports were up-loaded to the web- site so friends and family that didn't make the trip could check out the progress of the team. The sports that weren't repre- sented by action shots at least had coaches reports and all sports had photos of the coaches. Some of the photographs came out quite well, although it was very difficult to make out the kids faces in the bas- ketball photos. The idea was a good one, despite some coaches not follow- ing through and putting down how their team did. But now that the games are three weeks done, it may not even matter. The site is worth checking out as an example of how to keep the folks at home informed quickly. But visit it soon. While no expira- tion date has been set, it won't be up indefinitely. —Lonny Goldsmith Travel Tales holocaust.miningco.com/library/weekly/aa073198. You know how those travel mono- logues by friends go: most of them are sleep-inducing, but sometimes you hear a narrative that makes you want to call your travel agent. Jennifer Rosenberg's how-I-spent- my-summer-vacation page in the Mining Company's Jewish section is closer to the latter than the former, and it's a great illustration of how ordi- nary people can tell compelling stories to a vast audience, thanks to the World Wide Web. At http://holo- caust.miningco.com/ library/weekly/aa073198.htm. Rosenberg focuses on her Jewish roots trip to Eastern Europe this sum- mer. In straightforward prose, she describes her motivation for the trip and its planning. Then she offers a plain but evocative narrative. "Though I knew my trip to Eastern Europe would be emotional, I was unprepared for what I found," she writes. She goes on to describe her experi- ences in several cities — Prague, which she found "a wonderful city with beautiful buildings, nice people, and a remaining Jewish community," and Warsaw, where members of her Jewish tour displayed the usual gamut of emotions. And she describes in evocative terms her trip to Wlodawa, the town closest to the Sobibor death camp, and her visit to a synagogue that was a museum display- ing the artifacts of an exterminated popula- tion, run by curators who knew little about the displays except that they were somehow connected to this van- ished community. The narrative is punctuated by a handful of good color photographs. The site is compelling because it reflects an ordinary person con- fronting the extraordinary past of the Jews — and because it effectively uses TRAVEL TALES on page 136
