Praha or Bust!

Made a quick trip to Prague over the end of last week and the weekend! I actually drove myself over there and back... craziness! I still remember the day when I wasn't allowed to drive to the mall alone, let alone to the Czech Republic! So, that in and of itself was an adventure, but aided my GPS system, the drive was about 5 hours door-to-door...it's just surreal, though, to be on a road trip where I needed to have my passport lying on the passenger seat next to me! And even more surreal when the owner of the hotel asked me where I was from. I told her, "America." She gave me a quizzical look and said, "And you drove? All the way from America?" It made me laugh, and to be honest, that actually wasn't the last time I was asked that question during the my trip! I wish the trip had been for vacation alone, but instead, work-related things were the order of the day...but that isn't all bad either, as I'll take any excuse to go back to Prague! I hadn't been there in nearly eight years, but, amazingly, so many things hadn't changed....and the city is still as beautiful as ever! And I can thank the quad- and calf-pounding cobblestone streets (and hills!) for helping me justify skipping a few workouts while I was there! It rained on my first night there, but it cleared up the next day and was a good weekend! Hope yours was, too!
