Whirlwind first couple days in Prague including arrival on
Friday and a day-long visit with an old friend from Carolina—Ben Levenson. Ben has been living here for several years
and he and his new wife Lucia took me all around the town including Prague Castle,
Golden Lane, the Charles Bridge, and Old Town Square and everywhere in
between. Was great to have a local tour
guide and even better to catch up with an old friend.
Today we headed out of the city to South Bohemia and visited
two different towns includes Ceske Budejovice and Pisek. We met with the mayor and the Rector of the University
of South Bohemia as well as toured an NGO that serves the Roma community and
several historical sites in between.
Prague equals meat and beer and this is not an easy town
unless you like to eat meat and lots of it.
Went to a local restaurant today and the name was literally “meat shop”
Have already sampled beef stroganoff, duck, schnitzel, and dumplings.
A couple pics are posted below. We are here until Wednesday and then arrive
at our last stop in Paris.
