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.

Unfortunately, the job I'm in it is unlikely I will see a *huge* amount. I was lucky enough this afternoon to go on a three-hour driving/walking tour of the city. We saw a little of everything, and there are definitely places I'd like to return to and take more time with, but it's unlikely I'll be able to.

I start working tomorrow and don't stop until the night before I go home (on the 24).

The city is very pretty. And very old. Our guide pointed out a little bitty round chapel that was built in the early part of the 900's. That was probably the talllest thing besides trees when it was first built, and now sits dwarfed by buildings built hundreds of years later. Most of the city was built in the 1300-1600, and it is all beautiful stone work and sculpture everywhere, gilded and spired and roco-coed to death.

And on Tuesday we have an event at the Zofin Palace, which is on an island in the river.
