Prague!

18,002 / 50,000 - 36% done!

So obviously NaNo is doing well, if I'm still a touch behind. I've ran into a slight timeline complication, which shouldn't be too hard to resolve, I'm hoping. What's a few months here and there?

I returned from Prague, which on Saturday was pretty, but mostly wet. We visited Hradcany and the castle, though missed seeing the Golden Lane, for reasons I can't quite recall. We might have been hungry and fed up with the rain. XD

Sunday was gorgeous though, sun and blue sky and all around joy. We went to Josefov, which is the Jewish part of Prague, which made me very happy we didn't go on Saturday because frankly, visiting the Pinkas synagogue was just a little less depressing than Auschwitz. Almost 80,000 names of Jews murdered during the Second World War written on the walls and a gallery of pictures painted by children in Terezin. Way to sucker-punch a person.

The old cemetery was beautiful though.

did you go into St Nicholas, and the gift shop in the castle has this door which is always just ajar that leads to the private chapel...

and what about the gallery? did you see St Sebastien?
and the clock in the old square which is fab and wrong which just makes it more cool, and the fred and ginger building and the black madonna and the john lennon wall....

We definitely saw the clock and it was mighty disturbing. Cool, but disturbing. Prague was very, very pretty, I'd like to go back sometime and visit the castle properly. :)

Ack! The dreaded timeline complication! Good luck with it.

It's mostly a case of too much time to cover. :) Thanks!
