Last day in Prague

Its our last day in Prague, and this city is the most beautiful city I have visited, ever. Its even nicer than Paris... Its nice to see part of Europe that has been untouched by the war, or communism's "gray box" architecture.

The people here are very friendly, even when they think you're a yankee. Though you can pick them out a mile away, the americans are generally the over-weight ones who look like a fish out of water....

The whole town has been caught up with world cup fever. In the Old town square, they've put up a giant tv screen and have a vendors selling beer (which is very, very good) and food in among the sidewalk cafes. The square is packed with natives (who are very friendly) and other tourists. In all a great atmosphere to watch a football game at, especially the Czech/US or the Brazil game yesterday.

Its really too bad north americans can't get into this, it totally out classes any of the "big" sports back home. It makes the Red Mile, or Whyte Ave, or whatever look pretty puny.

Knox,

You said nothing of the Czech women which married man here finds very dissappointing.

You also seemed to imply some drinking had taken place on your travels. I am arranging a little detox session upon your return.

Take care.

Kost...

I have no idea what you´re talking about... but I´ve discovered what passes for "beer" in Canada is, well, less than impressive.
