Prague: Day Three

I didn't come here for the food.

I was figuring it would be greasy goulash, lots of potatoes and even more indigestion. I've been eating light at the hotel, taking advantage of the Executive floor breakfast treats and snacks throughout the day, particularly today since it was 37 degrees and drizzly out. I've been working on Lyman Hill Farm today, as well as enjoying the pool and spa.

We weren't motivated to go out in the sleet to get some dinner, so we ate in at the hotel. I wasn't expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised. We ate at the CzecHouse Grill & Rotisserie and the meal was really good. Geoff had cream of celeriac soup and, as usual, duck. I had Iberian ham to start and oh-so-tasty, potato and marjoram encrusted, pork tenderloin fried balls of death. They reminded me of dim sum - crispy on the outside, tender on the inside. Like a grown-up tater tot with a surprise inside. The spinach it was served with was perfect - just wilted with a tiny bit of garlic. I wish I could say as much for the wine selection, which tasted like fermented skittles. I'll drink beer next time. I read somewhere that the Czech republic consumes the most beer per capita in the world. Until tomorrow....

Prague: Day Two

I am a Touron.

I went everywhere today. With map and camera in hand, gawking at the sights, tripping on cobblestones, getting blisters on the feet. View pics here.

Wondering where I've been? I'm in Prague!

Check out my daily photo album here.

I brought my point and shoot because I didn't want to check any baggage, which extra camera stuff would entail. It doesn't matter, because there is something beautiful at every turn.
