Czech Tourist with American Tour Guide...in PRAGUE

I made a new friend named Martina in Prague today. We had 4 hours to kill together. She suggested we go to the cinema or sit in a coffee shop. Instead, I took her on a walking tour of the city to see all of my favorite places (and a few new ones along the way).

Orloj

Charles Bridge (Karlův most)

 (view from the top of the bridge after climbing 479 stairs)

John Lennon wall

lock bridge 

 some crazy sculpture area

the Dancing House (Tančící dům)

 view from the top of Dancing House (my first time up there)

and Old Town city square.

Well done, Prague, well done.

FLY AWAY FROM HERE

Gotta find a way
yeah I cant wait another day
ain't nothing gonna change
if I stay around here
gotta do what it takes
cause it's all in our hands
we all make mistakes
yeah but it's never too late to start again
take another breath and say another prayer

 I found myself in the elusive zone 1 boarding position on a couple of plane rides as I flew a few thousand miles away from home. A feeling that seems all too familiar, yet for totally different reasons this time.

 Time, I'll take what you give me. Please know that I'm learning.

Home, I promise to always come back to you.

Oh and Prague, please stop showing off.

CHARLES BRIDGE

Besides the dancing house (click that post...I adore this building for some reason) and the giant clock named Orloj, my next favorite site in Prague is the Charles Bridge (Karlův most). 

I love it from the side

I love it up close

I love it early in the morning

I love it in the evening

I love it late at night

I love it from the top

I love it at both ends

 I love it with a million tourists who won't get out of your photos

I love the worn parts that people touch for good luck

 I love the vendors, musicians, and painters along it

I love the view of the castle in the background

 I love the statues

Oh, Charles (that's him above), thank you for the countless walks.
