Another World...17º our last sunny day for awhile.

I'm changing the story line today, since not much to talk about, here on Barton Heights, except the weather and other mundane topics, like taxes, making bread, jam, doing laundry, all the usual stuff.

Instead I will reminisce a bit about our trip to Prague, last summer...The trip was precipitated by my only grandchild, Cienna, flying off to Europe to teach English in foreign lands...She took a month long course that would give her more clout to get a job out of the US...She had already taught  for two years in Oregon...Knowing that if we wanted to see her in the near future, we would have to go to Prague, where she teaches English in a preschool.

After what "seemed" like 24 hours on a plane we soon made ourselves at home in a 2nd floor, two bedroom, kitchen, bathroom "flat" in Prague, our headquarters for the next 3 weeks...It was in the middle of the noisy city and August was unusually hot...But as usual the "Allen's" made lemonade out of lemons...We tried out many new drinks. 😅

We navigated the cobblestone streets and sidewalks (I used trekking poles) with Cienna as our guide, we rode subways, buses, trams and bolt/taxi...We were soon regulars at the small grocery store and deli stores, where we purchased Prague style, cheeses, deli meats, fruit, veggies and breads to make our own breakfasts and lunches...On any given day we might ride a bus, then a tram and the subway to get to another destination to see all of the sights: Castles, churches, bridges, cemeteries, parks, rivers and to shop in malls or vintage stores...Another plane ride took us to Amsterdam for 3 days...to be continued... Hugs To All...OWAV:)

No I didn't buy that hat, 

but I should have.

stairs are treacherous 

there.

We didn't miss a meal.
