Monday April 7, 1997
Awoke around 11am and checked out of the hotel and quickly vamoosed to the airport. We were 2 hours early, so I sent off postcards to Roger and Matt, but I have no idea if they will ever get there. No one in the airport knew what the correct postage to the US was. The Air France flight to Prague was great. I was disappointed I did not have Discman access, but otherwise it was groovy.
After an Emerson Fittapaldiesque ride in a taxi, we arrived at the uber-swank Movenpick hotel (there are a few umlauts there somewhere). We sat around a bit and tried to get our bearings. The Czech language is difficult, but there are lots of tourists, and I heard many languages being spoken.
Finally, we went to Old Town Square, and had some Pizza. (that fine Czech food rates up there with French on my foreign food scale). It was very cold outside, but there were a sizable number of attractive people about. We walked up and down Wenceslaus square and decided to take a tour tomorrow, then to shop. I’d like to go dancing tomorrow, but I will wait and see if I am up to it. I make a mental note to try and weasel some friends into traveling in the future. I think we could get into all kinds of fun most of Prague is spectacular, and I hope to take some good photos tomorrow!
