Prague in the Spring

This city is lovely in spring. We're revelling in our good fortune being here. Most days we have a quite demanding schedule of relaxation and touring. Some days our heads feel like they will explode from the beauty. We take long walks, craning our necks to see the architectural details, and take numerous breaks to sample sweets from the bakeries and brews from the pubs. We view art in museums and galleries stunning enough to be exhibits themselves. We sit in parks and orchards when the weather's warm and enjoy the view from cafes when it´s not.

Here a random sampling of the above:

The very high Vltava River

Jiriho z Podebrad Square--the gathering point for Prague´s Critical Mass (Critical Mass rides are held in cities all over the world as a way of increasing awareness for cycling as transport.)


A visit with Pavel


Our apartment's on the 3rd floor of a building from 1909 in the Vršovice neighborhood near parks, pubs, and public transportion.
