Yesterday I was too pooped/drunk to write an entry.

I spent the day in Prague yesterday, I walked to the Old Square, saw the famous clock, fought the crowds, shopped in the gift shops. (Bought myself a gorgeous necklace, you will all be envious of it when I wear it). Then I made my way over to the Black Virgin House to see another example of cubist architecture, although the one from Tuesday was a much better example.

After that I decided I could walk to the Museum of Modern Art. After all, it would be much easier than figuring out the subway, or trams and taxis here are not to be trusted. I forgot to account for the fact that it was 25 degrees out, with the sun beating down, up hill. But I trudged on, finding some GREAT graffiti in the park. The park itself offered up spectacular views of Prague, and once I found somewhere to buy myself a cold ice tea, I was more than happy to take a break and enjoy the view from the park bench.

The Museum was great, although I ran out of time - I did 3 floors out of 5, but I had a train to catch and an hour and a half walk to get there.

When I was picked up at the train station here, Mark and Radka were entertaining some friends in the garden. So I got to meet some more friendly Czechs. Being sunburnt and parched from my day bootin' it in the sun, the wine Mark was pouring me was going down a little too easily. Once I realized how easily, I tempered with much water. I think that saved my butt this morning.

Today was a slower day, went shopping with Radka, out for lunch, mushroom picking with Radka's dad (again it was a total bust), a big dinner in the outdoor kitchenette with the family and a relaxing evening in.

Mark and Radka have been amazing hosts, I will be sorry to leave them on Monday morning.
