Prague Journal

Tuesday, March 22, 2005.

I had expected to set out on our tour of various museums and sights early in the morning, but Rick and Charles became engaged in math-talk, so we did not leave our flat until nearly noon. Most museums in Prague are open every day except Monday, except for the Jewish museums which are open every day except Saturday. You can imagine our surprise and disappointment when we discovered that the Museum of Music is open every day except Tuesday!
Undaunted, we headed toward Wenceslas Square, where we left Charles and Claudia to their own devices (and a carefully discussed map of interesting places), at the entrance to the Museum of Communism. They spent the rest of the afternoon walking around various parts of the city. Today is rather sunny and not too cold, so it was a perfect day to be outdoors.
Our rendezvous point was U Pinkasů, one of our favorite “authentic” Czech restaurants just off Wenceslas Square. We arranged a table upstairs in a non-smoking room, so the dinner was quite pleasant, except for the piped-in American 60’s rock’n’roll music! Nonetheless, we had a lovely evening – good food, good beer, good conversation, good friends.
