Another very cold day. We stayed inside today until the temperature came up a bit. The main goal for the day was to find a store that sold scissors and paper. It has seemed to me that there is a lack of 'practical' stores - mostly just the tourist stuff. Maybe it is as Karl says; we have stayed on the more beaten paths of Prague and therefore don't see those types of stores. Anyway, K found a couple different art stores on the internet, so we headed out to find our artsy supplies to make better snowflake ornaments today (we were looking for indoor activities as the cold/snow doesn’t make for fun exploring and shooting). On the way to the art store we made a quick journey up one of the towers of the Charles Bridge to check out the view. As beautiful as the view is from the top, a camera can never capture the feeling you get when you are looking at an extraordinary view. I still feel like I got a couple good shots, but I will let you be the judge. Once back on the ground it didn’t take long to find the art store and get what we needed. We were both pretty cold by then so we tucked into an Italian restaurant to get warm and grab a quick bite. There seem to be more Italian restaurants then Czech restauraunts... Then we headed back to the apartment…not before stopping to grab a bottle of wine, of course. Back at the apartment we cuddled up to the space-heater and I made ornaments while K played DJ, spinning the best of Christmas tunes…ha ha. Neither one of us was particularly motivated to go back out in the cold. We had planned to get gussied up and go to a very nice French restaurant in the neighborhood but the thought of taking a shower and going out into the cold with wet hair shut that down. Instead we bundled up – unshowered – and headed to the local Thai restaurant that we had eaten at last week. This time I managed to eat my whole meal and then put away the most delicious crepe dessert with hot raspberries... sooo didn't need that.
It was a relatively mellow day.
