I am starting to pine a little for home. Today we packed everything up to ship out, and this afternoon we all took off to do whatever. M, M's husband and I went to shop - in the cold- in the rain. The one half day I had out and it fucking rains. And since Prague is a very walkable city, what did we do? We walked. From the hotel, through Old Town and over the "Karluv most" or Charles Bridge.
In the other side of the bridge we had dinner with R and R at the Kampaspark - in the terrace, which is right above the water line on the Vltava river a couple hundred feet downstream of the Charles Bridge.
We took a cab back to the hotel. We did try Berkerov - an herbal distilled appertif - and oh, my. Sweet and medicinal and it burned lips, and set fire to the throat. It is a sipping drink - one I am glad I tried, but will not be bringing home, thanks. A few nights ago the other team members tried Absinth - and the bar did the whole "set fire to sugar" bit with it. It is a rather pretty icy blue color - but I wasn't tempted to try to drink that - Absinth is illegal in the US for a reason, y'know.
Now I have to pack, because I have to leave the hotel by 4:45am tomorrow to make my flight to Frankfurt. Yikes... I better get going. I will be home this time tomorrow, with a little luck!
