Nothing Was As It Appeared | Prague Castle as seen from the Charles Bridge |
I have a split personality when it comes to Prague. On one hand, I want to tell everyone how wonderful it is and I feel somehow personally responsible for the way that it is protrayed. On the other hand, I would like to add to the fears about it being overcrowded, unsafe, and boring because I DON'T want other people visiting. I'd like to keep it to myself and the select others that are also as enchanted with it as I am.
But the truth is, it is truly a wonderful place to be. Yes, there are more and more tourists everyday and there are times when it feels like you hear more English than Czech being spoken. And yes, the prices are rising and will continue to do so after they go Euro. But man, what a city. If you get off the beaten path and tourists tracks and evenjust wander down the alleys and streets you'll find parts of it untouched. As my mother says, it's the kind of city where you wouldn't be surprised to see a man walk out of the mist in a large top hat and long coat-and wouldn't be surprised if he was Jack the Ripper. A magical, mystical place. |
