Prague, day 1 ::
I thought of staying in Berlin with B for the weekend before he went his own way. I didn’t tally this up until now, but since leaving California, I’d had 2 nights on redeye flights, 2 fairly low-key but very jet-lagged evenings with B, and 6 of those elongated, 3-5 hours of drinking and dinner with colleagues/friends, kinds of evenings, that seem much more common in Europe than in the U.S. (Or does travelling just force me to be more of a social creature than usual?) The company, food, and beer were all wonderful, but I found myself wanting some time alone, being able to eat/drink/rest on my own schedule. ...
Prague, day 2 ::
Today I slept late, had coffee and quickly checked mail in an Internet cafe before trying a couple of the Lonely Planet suggested walking tours. It was such a nice day that I decided to stay outside instead of visiting indoor places like the national museum and Prague Castle. Took a few nice photos and decided to make it an early evening so I can get up early and get my laundry done before too much of the day passes tomorrow. ...
