Prague Journal

Saturday, July 9, 2005.

The sun is out today, but the weather is not particularly warm. Steve and Kyle are spending their last day in Prague shopping and walking around the city center; I’m spending mine finishing page proofs for two articles.
Rick and Howard were scheduled to return from Croatia at 4:00, but their flight was delayed two hours, so they went downtown directly from the airport. Our dinner reservations were for 7pm, so I met Steve and Kyle at the Municipal House at 6:45 (and gave them a mini-tour) and Marketa met us at 7pm at the Patriot X restaurant nearby. Rick and Howard and Howard’s Israeli friend Yaki (Jacob) arrived shortly before 7:30. We had a nice dinner downstairs in a secluded room so we could talk and linger. Jaki had to leave at 9:30 to go back to the airport for his midnight flight back to Tel Aviv, but the remaining six of us stayed another hour. As we walked Kyle and Steve to their hotel, Howard explained a bit about the history of some of the buildings, filling in pieces here and there of things I hadn’t heard. There is still so much that I don’t know about Prague.
