Pix: Prague, part three, places for no respectable man
My favorite graffiti of the trip comes courtesy Big Black's Bad Houses.
The graffiti and some of David Cerny's babies were on the castle side of the river, far away from the crowds but easy enough to find.
Crossing back over the river, we arrived in busy Old Town Square just in time to see the Orloj (Astronomical Clock) ring the top of the hour.
From across the square, 12x zoom captured the Apostles' appearance. When the bells stop ringing, Apostles stop moving and the doors shut.
Not a bad looking place, Prague.
But one David Remnick could differ. This was the shop of the wannabe whores, Kristin said. She admitted to shopping there only sometimes.
Over the river yet again, back to the castle's side, we approached the metronome representing freedom where a Stalin memorial once stood.
Further along that hilltop were men playing marbles, families kicking soccer balls, couples napping in the grass, and flowers everywhere.
The statue whispered, "Drink Gambrinus…"
We sat in the beer garden at the end, drank beer and talked for hours before heading to dinner with Kristin's boyfriend and their RFE friends.
Took a train the next morning to Salzburg, resumed the academic life.
