Oh, Just Some Pictures of Prague – Part 5


As you might have seen, last weekend I got a chance to take one of my little abbreviated let’s-go-see-some-random-city-in-Europe trips.  Glendo and I kidnapped our favorite German bartender and headed 3 hours east to Prague.  It is, from my brief-at-best impressions, an amazing city, and we could’ve spent days there without truly seeing what the city has to offer.  However, it was a blast, and we couldn’t have asked for a prettier day.

Anywho, here’s some pictures of what we saw.  As always, I’d love to tell you about what you’re seeing, but, I’ve got nothing to tell you.  You probably know the drill by now.  1 day off out of 13.  In a part of the world I know nothing about, visiting a city I know nothing about, short of the fact that I should go there.  So we went there.  No planning, no research.  3 hour drive.  6 hour walk.  3 hour drive.  Trip over.  Word.

Well, this thing is pretty, whatever the hell it is...

The Italian embassy.

Climbing a long way up towards Prague Castle

The view from the top is sort of pretty, I guess...

Lotta, enjoying the view.

Ok, I'm done now.

On the way back down... Kinda like the shadow.

Last one for today... Headed back down towards the river.

That’s all for now…  The penultimate batch of photos coming soon…  Easter dinner in Germany, which I can only assume is made up of lots of stuff that ends in ‘wurst,’ awaits…

Happy Easter,

Oh, Just Some Pictures of Prague – Part 4


Well after 2 quick nights and 2 tiring days of strolling around Paris, I’m back in the friendly confines of Bergheim, Germany…  The pictures and such from Paris will be up before long, but for now, here’s some more of the little stroll through Prague.

The view from the aforementioned Charles Bridge...

Nice little place for a walk I suppose...

Just another of the many statues that line the bridge...

And, the other side...

Glendo and a bad-ass little car that I guess is used for sight-seeing tours for people with of loads of money...

And that’s all for this evening, these cocktails aren’t going to drink themselves.  Bonsoir from the Best Bar in Bergheim…
