Prague Snapshots #3

Well, my plane landed a couple days ago and, as sweet as it is to see old friends and family after six weeks abroad, my heart is aching for Prague. All the beautiful people I met and things I saw - I can't wait to bore my family with a never-ending slideshow. But for now, a couple of snapshots that remind me not only of what I'm missing, but how good life can be, if you just give it a chance. I can't wait to go back, but I'll always carry with me the knowledge that there are other options out there. There's a whole world of ancient cities and bright city lights, just waiting for you to buy a ticket and give it a shot.

Prague is real pretty. I hope we've established that.

I swear I tried to wait to take a picture first, but I couldn't resist velký čokoladový dort (literally 'big chocolate cake').

Rainy day view from the back of the tram. Best seat in the city.

Farmers' Market decisions. 

I hope I'm cool enough to go on ice cream dates when I'm their age.

Woke up at 4am to watch the city come to life. Good morning, Prague.

I am beyond terrified of heights. But sometimes climbing a dozen flights of steep, rickety wooden steps, with shaking legs and a Tesco bag full of Czech chocolate (didn't really think that one through) is worth it. Sometimes everything is worth it.

Dĕkuji za vše - thank you for everything.

Missing this.
