That little signal I get when I’ve been using my Google Maps just a bit too much and wearing my phone’s battery down ๐ฌ๐. I’m feeling like that just now, but unfortunately, I can’t plug into a charger, and it’s simply too late for a cuppa.๐ But I’ll do my best to share some of the fun from today!



I’ve always been fascinated by the doors in Europe! And these do not disappoint. Grandiose, and a solid focal point to all who may be coming for a visit.๐ One can only hope the inside is as impressive as the outside!
I started the day with a walk through Old Town, looking for a post office. For those of you who get postcards when I am traveling internationally, I don’t think you realize what a labor of love it is.๐๐๐ You see, first I have to identify what the post office looks like. And then I have to identify what the dropbox looks like. Today, when I went into the post office, which I found quite by chance, I was told to take a number because people no longer get mail delivery at their homes, but have to pick things up at the post office (believe it or not, government corruption๐). I think I waited about 50 minutes, but I enjoyed watching the people there, and visiting with one very kind woman who explained to me that I needed a number, and how to get a number.๐ Before she left, she pulled up a photo of a dropbox so I knew where to put the postcards after I had written on them.๐
The streets of Prague are quiet in the mornings, so I headed back to ‘The Square’, in the hopes of going into ‘The Church’...(CATHEDRAL)!


Remember this one from yesterday? Equally beautiful inside๐ฑ!

And on the outside…





It was after spending some time in the beautiful cathedral that I decided to venture to the outskirts of Prague, so I walked to the closest tram station and hopped on a bus. (That is precisely how I came across the post office!) But the scenes from the bus were plentiful on the way to the ’posta’.๐ค

When I first saw the graffiti on the panel in the bus, way at the back, I wondered how somebody could’ve done such an extensive job of it without getting caught, but then I realized the driver was about four lengths (bus cars) ahead of me! Still, I was kind of taken by the graffiti, and I almost wondered if it was art (intentionally done) for some reason. If only because of the calming color scheme.๐๐
And then I came across the Sign along the walk to the castle later in the afternoon…

…and I was so impressed because there was not a speck of graffiti anywhere on the entire building! But there WAS a wee bit on the sign. ๐

And then this little gem, to remind folks to clean up after Fido๐คฃ๐๐!
It was a full, enjoyable and enchanting day. But I just think I will do better at this with my cuppa (‘power juice’) in the morning ☕️. But a few pictures just to tide you over til then๐ค๐๐ค.

Scene through an arrow opening in the wall of the castle ๐. This one…

The flowers are blooming, and these tiny daisy-looking ones smelled tantalizing! Second ONLY to my favorites…

LILACS๐คฃ๐คฃ๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค!

More to come in the morning๐ค๐.
