We have been in our new Prague apartment for four weeks now and I have been\u00a0negligent\u00a0in posting, as\u00a0usual. \u00a0We have been on the go a lot but mostly to uninteresting places to shop for our apartment or ourselves.<\/p>\n

\"April<\/a>

April Blossoms on Petrin Hill above Prague Castle<\/p><\/div>\n

Yet, Prague being such an interesting city we have been out to some entertainment, including–and certainly not limited to– the European Film Festival, concert by Italian Choir at the Music Museum (free!) and English language\u00a0theater. \u00a0We highly recommend\u00a0The Prague Playhouse<\/a> production of Tennessee Williams\u2019 The Glass Menagerie<\/em>. \u00a0It is the best play we have been to in years.<\/p>\n

Our first major outing was to Alfons Mucha’s The Slave Epic<\/em>. \u00a0But you will have to wait for Karin’s update to read about that. \u00a0However, if you are in Prague, don’t wait to go; it is a unique lifetime experience.<\/p>\n

Here is an\u00a0excerpt\u00a0from my Greek island blog that I intend to put in the side bar here:<\/p>\n

“I recommend this book for the same reason that I publish\u00a0personalized\u00a0travel guides: \u00a0not so the reader can repeat the same journey, rather to serve as a stimulus to choose your own course and pursue it with confidence you can leap over, or at least get around, the inevitable hurdles.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The book I am referring to is One Year Lived<\/em> by Adam Shepard. \u00a0In it a young man tells about his\u00a0incredibly\u00a0full and rewarding year travelling around the world. \u00a0Read more about the book on that blog<\/a> or I will send you a free copy (PDF) if you comment on this post telling me why you would like to read the book. \u00a0Be sure your email address is included.<\/p>\n

Cheers,<\/p>\n
