The absence of posts is the indicator of the craziness of this past week. Emrys’ mom arrived in Prague on Wednesday morning with a tour group and we hit the ground running with her. Emrys played tour guide as we escorted a rather jet-lagged Mom through Wenceslas Square, the Jewish Quarter, around the bridges and then when her vision was sufficiently blurred from lack of sleep (she was on a red-eye Tuesday night) we deposited her back at her hotel. Thursday we tagged along with her group (thanks to a couple of cancellations within the group) as they toured Prague Castle and made the walk from the castle, across Charles Bridge and back to Old Town. From there we strolled around a bit more, and parted ways for a bit before the evening dinner cruise on the Vltava River. Thanks again to extra room on this optional trip for the group, we were able to go along as a belated birthday present- such fun and something we probably wouldn’t have done otherwise. It was then that I realized that in all our time in Prague, we hadn’t been out that much at night and the city takes on a completely different look. So to our “To Do Before Leaving Prague” list, we’ve added stroll around and night for pictures.
Friday brought a dinner party to our little home. Ricki, Valerie (friend of the family for years), Geo & Krissy joined us for dinner and then on Saturday was more sights, dinner at Geo & Krissy’s and then out to a pub that they’d found for drink and conversation. Whew! I think that’s enough for 4 days! More touristing than we’ve done at one time since we got her but it was great to spend time with everyone.
