we are sitting at this place in prague and with the nicest computers we have used the whole trip and somehow managed not to pay anything?! not complaining!
a lot has happened since berlin. freddie came and went, we saw "the best of mozart and strauss with ballet and singers" with the prague royal orchestra, dined at some fine establishments (but not too fine, we're maintaining our "budget"), tried some new foods that we cannot pronounce, seen baby Jesus pop out of a clock, seen baby Jesus in the form of "The Holy Infant of Prague", climbed ten jillion steps to the top of St. Nicolas to catch the view from the belltower, and attended a festival in the town square ...sort of by default, how do you miss a festival in the middle of town!? American music is undoubtedly far more enjoyable than Czech music.
we have found that one of our new favorite things is opening the windows to our apartment (which is mighty fine by the way) put on some enya and listen to the rain outside with the bells and nature sounds of the birds chirping. how can you resist? although, the other night ruthie and i were terribly disturbed to find that michael jackson has come and gone-truly the end of an era. freddie wasn't as concerned as we were as we started repeating his classic hits on our personal favorite television channel "deluxe music" (which was a lot like our favorite channel in copenhagen-disco karoke).. we quickly found that we will miss those "free willy" days...R.I.P Michael.
tonight we will climb the bazillion stairs that lead to the prague castle. there we will find the harmonious sounds of the prague royal as they serenade us with tunes from vivaldi ("four seasons"), mozart, and we forget the other one. although it is not "enya" it is sure to be quite inspirational.
OH, and we almost forgot to mention that we had the absolute worst burger today. it was the color of ruthies dress-coral if you will...but we're still having the time of our lives!!!!!
prague is the jam.
