our apartment -
2nd floor of yellow building in center |
So, taking Hamlet's advice to Ophelia,
we got us to a nunnery. Our new apartment in Prague is, literally, in
an old convent, or, if you prefer, a nunnery.

| Berlin Hauptbahnhof |
Yesterday, we bade Berlin a fond fare thee well,
took a train from Berlin Hauptbahnhof (central station) to Prague
Hlavni Nadrazi (central station) and were met by our new landlord,
Mirek, in front of the Burger King in the station...and he drove us
to the nunnery. Appropriately, it is located near Bethlehem Square.

After settling in we went out for a
bite to eat and some basic shopping to launch our two-month stay here
in our beloved Prague. After Berlin, it seems like Alice has fallen
through the looking glass and landed in Neverland...or, am I mixing
up my stories? Hmmm. Anyway, we took a walk to the Moldau River, only
a few steps from the nunnery, and the soft haze from the low clouds
make it look, in fact, like wonderland—the paving stones all wet
and misty and shining and Mala Strana, across the river, looking
vaguely ghostlike and full of nostalgia. It seems like coming home
after a year's absence, this town is so simpatico.
