Prague

[etakyma]

Later today I am off to Prague. I have an overnight flight that will take a total of seven hours to Frankfurt, two hour layover, and another 1 and a bit to Prague. So for my 11 "real" hour trip, because of the time change, "almost seventeen" hours will have elapsed. I land in prague at 9:00am Wednesday morning. I'm exhausted just thinking about it!

I will be offline for much of today and probably tomorrow, but I'll be back online Thursday. At least when I travel for business, getting online is a necessity for work, so while I may respond to things at odd times, I will respond.

Off now to the bank for trvel money, and the drugstore for neccesities. Home to finish packing, and off to the airport this afternoon.

Fun fun.

My co-worker and I went on a driving/walking tour of the historic parts of the city today. It was a tour that was open to anyone, but ended up being just the two of us which was so very cool.

Our tour guide was realy good. He gave years built, kings on the throne, and sizes for palaces, Prague Castle, and a huge number of cathedrals, churches, and synagogues.

He talked a lot about communism and democracy, Czechoslavakia and the Czech Republic. The rule of Stalin, the years of war, the fortification. We saw a marker high on a wall (way way way above the river) where the great flood waters rose to in 2002.

Very cool!
