Just stopping by for a little blog-reading before New Year's Eve? Here's part 1. As for everyone else...
three days in prague, part 2 I woke up so incredibly refreshed on Sunday. For breakfast, Lara and I split an orange juice, apple, and a pretty pastry we'd accidentally bought the day before--nearly all the Czech we came into contact with spoke English, and well, but there's were a couple of "lost in translation" moments as to be expected.

Indeed it was. We stopped into Café Savoy on our walk back to recharge with a glass of Czech wine (for me) and a pot of tea (for Lara).
