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.

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.”

Prague – Trade Fair Palace

We piled into the motor coach. As mentioned, those drivers navigate the narrow streets and parked cars impressively. The building itself is a monument to Modern Architecture and was built in the 1920s. Until the 1950s trade fairs were held here, hence the name Trade Fair Palace. The building was then transformed into an administrativeContinue reading “Prague – Trade Fair Palace”

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.

day one a year later

A year ago, I had a job I loved. One never feels properly compensated, but I was fortunate to make more money than a lot of people. This would turn out to be my downfall. I received an email “can you come to the conference room”. It was review time, so, since the two peopleContinue reading “day one a year later”
