Prague in Review

The city has not lost its charm after this forth day. We have seen Chrarles Bridge, Prague Castle, and the old Jewish Quarter which were all fantastic. A Czech massage rouded off our final day quite nicely. After plenty of beer, and tons of walking, the French Riviera is sounding quite refreshing.

We saw a perfect example of the ugly American traveler tonight at dinner...and tried especially hard to counter the negative vibe the waitress was sending out. I thnk you should have to get a license to travel, testing your ability to interact outside your home country. The ability to stay cool and take the hits as they come is a life lesson all travelers need to adhere to.

Architects side note: The city here is ped friendly. The streets are all mainly occupied by foot traffic. The streets sweel to allow for many opportunities for activity including outdoor dining, jesters and street performers, and vendors. Although it is fun to walk around, it is a bit cofusing since it is not on a grid. The canal has a large bend also adding to the confusion of the city. The Gehry building is worth discussing as well. There is no response to site, and it is quite the object among a very similar cityscape.
