As a treat...

...and to make up for how poorly I have gone about this whole blog ordeal, here are some of my fav pics that I have taken since I've been here:)

View of Charles Bridge at night. They do a very good job lighting up all of their famous buildings.
 

Castle at dusk.

TEFL CERTIFIED Y'ALL!


Shot of Old Town Square. Lots of tourists!














Grapes from a MINI vineyard - we are talking 12 posts of grape vines...I'm not even sure if these are used to produce wine or if they just use them for fruit, but I thought they were cute so I snapped a pic of one :)


















View of Prague looking South.







Next up is graffiti from the John Lennon wall. I feel like whatever city I live in, there is some tribute (e.g. JL wall in Prague, Strawberry Fields in Central Park) to John Lennon and I am LOVING that! Back when CR was under communist rule, a lot of Czechs would come and scribble messages of peace, anti-war themes, etc...and a lot of the messages were derived from John Lennon's ideas, lyrics from songs, etc...  The police would come erase the graffiti, and people would just come back and do it all over again. Eventually the police actually gave up and left it be and the wall that you see to this day is the same one from back then.  AND, they even encourage you to make your own small contribution to the wall!

  1. I loved that John Lennon wall too! It showed such a sense of freedom at a time when Prague had very little. What did you write on the wall? GREAT PIX, by the way. The ones at night are fantastic! Hope you took a BUNCH! Love you, J
