The only drawback on this trip was that the apartment we rented had no internet service. It was both nice and odd to have no connection to the outer world for a whole week.
My proud moment of the week, though, was actually completing War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy, a monumental achievement heretofore only managed by about ten people (since we can't count the millions who only claim to have done so) throughout world history.
I put lots of pictures from the trip up on my standard photo page, but here are a few of my favorites.

Prague is truly one of the great cities of the world. I've only been there once, but the memories are still vivid in my mind-it's the kind of place that sticks with you. I hope to get back one day with my kids.
ReplyDeleteGlad you're back! I bet a week without Internet was good though. And I won't lie - never read the book.
ReplyDeleteNice photos, Ted.
Never really thought I'd read it either, Alex. I came across a copy on the free bookshelf at work and decided I'd better get it over with!
ReplyDeletewow, wonderful pics. Now I want to go there.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful indeed. Congrats on finishing War and Peace. I think I've thumbed through the novel a couple times, and I'm sure I actually read the first and last page, lol.
