Kathy will post a more eloquent story shortly but Sean needs to use up some time at the internet cafe too. In short, Prague gives Paris some competition in the “most beautiful” city category. While more compact, the sites are older and less grandly planned. However, this leads to a variety of periods (11th century until about 1920) to be blended to a more interesting effect. The best compliment you hear is that pictures from 150 years ago look like they were taken today.
We’ve increased our normal 3 cameras to 4 (video, 35mm SLR, big digital, little digital). Add a monopod and the asian tourist bow to us in respect. Will post some pictures but most go through several conversions at the apartment. Internet is about 2 kcz a minute (25 kcz/$ = $5/hr).
For once, Kathy slept in longer than Sean. What’s cool about where we are staying ? Well, it has a clothes washing machine that looks like a rock tumbler and the heat automatically shuts off at night. With two bedrooms and two sleeping lofts, it is more spacious than the $75 per night would suggest. Despite being built in the last 100 years, they took great care in detailing to make it look 200 years old. Most likely, it is in the old jewish ghetto that was raised around 1900.
This is an easy trip (no car, 1 destinate, western (almost EU) country). People very nice and we haven’t faked Canadian (although oddly every public telephone is maked “Fuck off USA”).
