I told Cass I would write the blog post
for Prague. In Prague, I was struck down with the flu, and because the universe
apparently enjoys symmetry, as I write this post about Prague, Cass is now
sick.
Firstly, Cass is fine. She has a bit
of a leaky nose and a sore throat, but as I’m sure John and Charmaine know, she
takes being sick in her stride and barely lets it show. As for me, as my family knows, I’m not
so great at handling the flu. I’m constantly on the verge of death, weakly
calling out for help and lamenting my torturous existence while wrapped tightly
in a blanket.
I got sick on the first night and
spent the next 3 days pretty much entirely in our room. Cass looked after me
and on the fourth finally we ventured out on a tour of Prague. The tour guide
was so-so, but we saw some nice things and we got to see Prague from a
riverboat, which was cool. We
walked from the city center to the astronomical clock, around the Jewish Quarter
and across the Charles Bridge to the old town. The next day we explored ourselves, which I think was better.
We visited the castle, saw Europe’s largest Baroque cathedral and walked across
the Charles Bridge a few times. We
ended up in front of the astronomical clock just in time to watch it chime for
the hour.
The stay was kind of marred by
lingering spectre of the flu, but the last 2 days were nice. But things picked
up at our next stop: Venice.
Love from Santos and Cass
