The problem with managing two blogs sometimes it causes a glitch. My apologies as I developed my final Prague post on my local trail blog. You can find it here: Special Prague moments, and what I learned.

Prague. The metal museum.
This guy caught my eye as we wandered around the cubist architecture of Prague. With a ten year old grandson, Minions are ever present. Did not expect to see him amongst the ancient architecture of Prague. The museum is great fun. It transforms scrap metal into sculptures representing all aspects of our collective culture. And,Continue reading “Prague. The metal museum.”
David Cerny, Prague activist and artist.
In a previous post, David Cerny’s pink tank was mentioned. It harbingered the beginnings of an incredible career. There are tours available which cover his artwork throughout the area. His artwork guided me to our tram stop in Kinsky Square. As soon as the torso of a tank came into view, I knew it was timeContinue reading “David Cerny, Prague activist and artist.”
Prague cobblestones
The cobblestones of Prague are artwork unto themselves. Some, a standard design. High heels not recommended. Art is under foot. Needless to say, all these cobblestones require maintenance. Beautiful, creative, and the added bonus is the stoccato traffic music. Please like, comment, subscribe, and let me know what you enjoyed about Prague. Check out myContinue reading “Prague cobblestones”
Prague. Walk along the Vltva River.
I love to wander. Whether in the woods of NH, USA, or the streets of Boston. One sees so much more ambling along. Walking down from the castle, (see blog post on Vysehrad castle), is a tricky descent. As an aging American, even hiking down from a mountain top requires focus. The long, steep trekContinue reading “Prague. Walk along the Vltva River.”
Vysehrad Castle – a MUST visit.
The artist from whom I purchased my two lovely watercolours recommended a trip to Vysehrad. So glad I listened. My travels have taught me to always get advice from locals. As a hiker, my preferred mode of transportation is my feet. They led me to: A very impressive entrance. The grounds are beautiful, filled withContinue reading “Vysehrad Castle – a MUST visit.”
Prague, up the hill
Behind the hotel is the Kinsky Garden, providing this country girl with a break from roadways, trams and buildings. National Museum-Orthographic Sadly, the building was closed as I explored the area. The lawn in front is a haven for dog owners, complete with a pup pool. The dogs of Prague are very lucky. Dagmar saidContinue reading “Prague, up the hill”
Prague, Architecture
This is an “Art and Architecture ” tour, day 3 was devoted to the Architecture theme. But first. A word about breakfast. “The most important meal of the day”. The Petr hotel provided breakfast, and an afternoon snack. Upon arrival on the first day I had a chance to interact with a Chicago couple onContinue reading “Prague, Architecture”
Prague 2
Our first get-together was scheduled for 5pm. Dagmar gave us an introduction to the city, our itinerary, and helpful tips. Transportation; which tram numbers stop nearby. Currency; which ATMs to avoid. Pilsner is cheaper than water at restaurants. Communication; a simple hello can mean a lot. I used a cheat sheet stashed in my pocket.Continue reading “Prague 2”
