  • Travel with a Twist

  • Prague Sketchbook + Journal
  • On the Number 17 tram going north out of the center of Prague, an old man slouches on the single seat next to the doors. …

  • The Sirens of Prague
  • It was already late when we first arrived, and Pedro and I had been traveling through central Europe for nearly eleven hours. So it is quite possible my senses were a bit off, but the Hlavni Nadrazi appeared to be lit in the same manner as an interrogation room. Bright, exposed fluorescent lights swung down [...]

  • The Painting
  • It’s November 24th, and Prague looks just like you would imagine. The sky is light grey, almost purple. A slight drizzle floats down from the sky, soft as a child’s foot steps. …

  • SideTrips

  • Bones, Bones, And More Bones
  • Entering the gothic Bone Church of Sedlec, it’s a strange sort of beauty that awaits at the bottom of the stairs. Bones are everywhere. Human bones. Forty-some-odd-thousand of them to be exact.

  • An Empty Gothic Chapel, A Set of Keys, and Silence
  • Sitting again on the bottom step I take in the silence – something that is so precious and rarely found when touring the ancient sites of the world.

  • Culture

  • Antonin Dvořák
  • One of the world’s most famous composers, Antonín Leopold Dvořák, was born in Bohemia just outside of Prague in the town of Nelahozeves. His birthday was September 8, 1841.

  • Keeping Time
  • Created when the Earth was the center of the universe and the Sun and the Moon and the Stars circled her in their orbits.

  • The Brickwork of Prague
  • Walk down almost any street in Prague it’s hard to decide what to look at first, the playful pastel colors of the buildings, the people walking down the street, the landscape, the lilacs, or, the sidewalks.

  • Food for the Table

  • The Glorious Bramborov!
  • Potatoes are the national food of Bohemia – and if they really aren’t, they really should be!

  • Cafe Savoy
  • Prague is one of those towns, like Paris or Vienna, that is known for its cafe culture.
