Second Breath

​Decided one one more cuppa, because it’s THAT GOOD!😱 And I had more photos!🀣

My hotel, while still on my own, is right near ‘Charles Bridge’, across from which sits the castle seen in the distance.  The bridge spans this river, as of yet unnamed.  

Found these beautiful sites in ‘The Square’  πŸ’•

I wish I could bring all of our kids to Europe so they could experience the ancient history here. One dayπŸ’•.  

Catch Up

​I’ll quick post some pretty from yesterday, while I am still enjoying my coffee in the dining room. πŸ€—


The cobblestone streets…make walking with even just a carry-on challenging! 


I thought this was just so touchingly beautiful πŸ₯Ή…never seen anything like it before now.

A New Day!

There’s nothing like a solid 14 hours of rest! Especially after a long day. I woke up at 1 am feeling wide awake, which rankled me a bit, But before I knew it, I could see the sun streaming through the sky window in the bathroom. My little apartment is a two-story abode, and it’s quite cute! Comfortable as well. I forget how well Europe does bedding… medium weight comforters tucked inside of a duvet cover, and mattresses that are truly second to none. I have yet to find an uncomfortable mattress in Europe, unlike Cambodia.πŸ˜‚


It was with great fright that I reread the blog I posted last night πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚  it was cherry LIQUOR, and not a NORMAL portion. πŸ˜‚  I think it must’ve acquainted to about two mils πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ .  But nevertheless, it was delicious, much like my coffee this morning! A little Nespresso sized cup, which in my opinion are ‘why bothers’, but I have a walking tour schedule this morning, and I know the ‘loos will be few and far between πŸ˜¬πŸ˜‚.  So this morning, I will limit myself to 15 mils of coffeeπŸ˜‚.  No, not really. I am fortunate because my hotel offers a free breakfast, so I will enjoy a normal cup when I head down there around nine.πŸ€—


(The teeny tiny-but-powerful NespressoπŸ€—)

I am having a hard time figuring out how to put pictures on the blog now. (Figured out location matters!πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚). Every time I sign into my Blog from another country, it always

1.  Doesn’t recognize me. 

2.  Looks different somehow.

In trying to search for the icon that would allow me to post a picture, it seemed as if I almost needed to create a whole new account. So again, I will work on that a bit.πŸ’•I’d hate for you to miss out on all the beauty I am seeing in Prague!  But for now, it’s off to breakfast. πŸ’•


By the way…the posting-photos-on-the-blog worked just fine in the dining room . πŸ™„πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

But now you have PICTURES!πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘


Running on Empty

​At long last, my feet are safely on the ground in PragueπŸ€—, and I apologize in advance because you’re getting the tired me today. Tonight actually. It’s 6:05 pm, and I’ve been wandering around town since I arrived at around 11:30 AM. I know if I get near my bed I will fall fast asleep.πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

I decided to navigate the bus, tram, and Metro system to figure out how to get to old town, which is where my hotel is at. Imagine looking at this…

… and trying to figure out where you need to go after you’ve been up for roughly 20 hours.πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ Still, I was able to get to ‘Old Town’, and ‘The Square’ without too much difficulty. From there it was easy to walk to my hotel. After dropping off my luggage, I set out to see what was in my ‘hood.

The metro (subway stations) are DEEP here!  A loooooooonnng ride! 😜

Dinner drinks 😊  that little red thing was a sample of a cherry Lacore that was just delicious. I’m glad I got just a sample because it would’ve knocked me out if I had a more anole size πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚!


It’s very difficult to walk on the streets here. They are all cobblestone, and some more loosely set than these! 

So sorry. I literally cannot keep my eyes open. I’m gonna call it a day, and I’ll finish up with this Blog in the morning! But rest assured, Prague is beautiful!

Fly Away

​The title of a song by one of my favorite artists, John Denver πŸ€—.  Since ‘On the Road Again’ doesn’t quite fit hereπŸ˜‚. I am off on my first solo adventure! After 62 years, I’m excited to see how I enjoy it.  And to up my game, I’m traveling with carry-on only!  


This should definitely make moving from place to place much easier! Especially since I am without any sherpas to schlep my stuff! πŸ˜‚ Next stop, MSPπŸ’•.

Flying the Coop

​What’s better than an exit row seat? 


An exit row seat all to myself 😏!

Shoes

​As I wandered about Henry’s Beach this morning, I came across several pairs of random shoes just strewn about.  I couldn’t help but wonder how the people could remember where they had left them, and trusting that they’d be there when they returned.πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Some super cool driftwood! 

And Santa Barbara had some of the most beautiful, old growth trees! 

See that ocean out there? πŸ˜ƒ


Stopped to hike a bit after the beach gallivanting 😊
