Ooooooh Prague!

After an incredible trip to Kosovo, Bill Clinton and I were so sad to wave it goodbye. 

But, it was time to visit the Czech Republic with Allison K Peterson. 

I believe this airport sign was meant to be encouraging for a 5 am flight.  

It just would have been a lot easier to live, smile and fly if your airport hadn't lost my luggage.  I'm just saying. 

Well, Prague was upon us and Allison and I were somewhat overwhelmed.  It is beautiful. It is expansive.  It has unlimited activities.  It has confusing public transportation. 

So, if you ever go to Prague (do it!), here is a little to do list to help you:

1. Take a bike tour!  What an incredible way to experience the city. 

2. Stalk the Prime Minister.

Prague Castle is absolutely timeless. An iconic symbol of Prague's history. 

Plus, the Prime Minister and his family live there.  And good news!  The raised flag means that the Prime Minister is at home that very moment.  Which is really helpful for any random passerby who might want to know the precise location of the ruler of the country.  Security concerns?  None.  Those stylishly uniformed guards with bayonettes are all his security detail.  Sometimes they like to march around. 

3. Join a crowd to watch the European Cup. Then order paella to share.  

4. Find the statue of the naked men peeing.

5. Visit the Charles Bridge with a BFF.

6. Pose awkwardly in front of the Lenin Wall.

7. Drink absinthe en flambé.  Slowly.  

Ooooooh Prague.  Now I understand why they call you the Las Vegas of Europe.  

Will you hang out with us again next summer?
