Visit from moje maminka
Mom came for a visit last week. Outside of the obvious, the visit meant a fresh load of American TP, Nestle Chocolate Chips, home baked goodies, and a visit to the biggest tourist attractions in Prague.
Now, I'm usually not a fan of going to touristy areas, but I hadn't really seen the highlights (the castle up close, for instance) since my arrival. The reason for that is that with family and possibly friends visiting, and I figured I'd go to the sites with them, so here was my first opportunity.
However, my mom brought with her a cold front - weather about -20 Celsius. Walking around was quite a numbing experience. Hard to give the sites their due time when you can't feel your face. In any case, we got to see the astronomical clock in action, and the castle up close and personal.
Mom's visit also meant a trip to U Fleku - a restaurant that's hard to describe. It's part elementary school cafeteria, part brewery (their home brew is fantastic!), part alcohol-pushers (the wait staff walks around serving trays of beers and Becherovka shots, where you are forced to reject them after a couple), and part music hall - an accordian player sereneding any and all within earshot. Good times, and I recommend it to anyone visiting the city.
This weekend also gave us another brunch opportunity. Here's a basic look of our pre-gorged brunch table... And for those of you who told me to pass on to Ben he ought to shave, he did. Scary results.
more to come...
