| Super long escalator... Picture doesn't really do it justice |
Today I used the metro by myself and didn’t get lost. Woohoo! I realized that I hadn’t actually been to Wenceslas Square but the Old Town Square. Anyway, I took the metro and it had this really, really long escalator to get down to it. It reminded me of Dupont Circle’s escalator in DC. I felt like I was coming down with vertigo as I kept trying to lean further back to counteract the feeling that I was going to fall and roll down and down and down and down…

| Wenceslas Square - Fuzzy. Sorry. |
Anyway, the Wenceslas Square was cool and seemed more modern
than the Old Town Square…hmm, perhaps there is something about the name of the
older one that could provide a clue there.
There were some street performers that were doing…well, I’m not quite
sure what they were doing. There were
whips involved.
Other random stuff:
There are cobbled streets and sidewalks everywhere. Some are small square stones. Some are larger brick-type stones. Some are
more rounded or smooth. I took a couple
of pictures to show you.

| Check out the "California" food |
I finally went into the grocery store at the bottom of the
mall that other people had been using. A
bottle of water was only 15 koruna ($.70) compared to 35 ($1.50) at an
inexpensive food place, 85($4ish) at
some other places and over 100 ($5+) at fancy restaurants. I was very proud of myself for using some of
the coins to pay for the waters. (I tend
to use the bills better because I don’t want to fumble with the coins.) I gave exact change. Yeah me!
At the mall there is a Sante Fe restaurant that serves “California”
food. Including a dish called “San Diego”
and another called “Coronado.” I don’t
know. Fried food like in the photos
doesn’t seem very California-ish. I
picture more fish tacos.
Tomorrow we head on a bus to Berlin. I have technically crammed all my belongings
into the same number of bags that I came with.
Of course, I haven’t packed my pillow, PJs, and toiletries. I have also left the Kafka book out in case
there is no room for it. (I have an
e-copy on my phone if needed.) We’ll see if there is room for it.
Off to go rest so I can wake up on time to have breakfast
before heading out.
