Strolling with Fred & Ginger

What happens when you get on a tram and you realize it is going the wrong way? You get off and walk, of course!

Long story - but I'll try to shorten it- We had to go to the Czech Inn (that's for you, Jason- still checking all occurences of Czech Inn on the I'net?? :-) We took a tram from the Czech Inn to our regular shopping mall at Andel and bought some groceries. Our regular tram line back to Dejvice has been rerouted for a month or so due to construction on the line. Someone told us it was back in service on the regular route, so we jumped on board to go home.

As soon as the tram headed for the river we knew it was NOT going the way that we wanted to go, so we disembarked at the next stop.

It was a beautiful evening, and so we decided to enjoy a long walk along the river on our way to a Metro stop.

We had to take the obligatory photo of the buildings known as the Dancing House or the Fred and Ginger building.




The river walk is quite well developed, and has benches, play grounds, a bike path and interesting sites along the way.

This is green door #7 - It made me instantly think of that great 1950's song- "The Green Door"

We then checked out possibilities for a replacement for Serendipity. This one was a great size, but needs a bit more work than we would like.

Didn't have any bread for the swans, so watched someone else feed them......

This boat coaught our eye - she is certainly a good size and has beautiful lines- but - she's a restaurant....

It was a longer walk than we thought - we were heading for the Stare Mesto stop on the Green Line......

We found a tram going our way, hopped on, and went home to enjoy Manhattans on the terrace.

I asked Tom to take the photo below because it was 10:30 PM and you can still see the sunset afterglow in the sky. Living at this higher latitude is enlightening (hahaha). The sky is light in the AM at about 3:45 now, and I woke up this morning with full, bright sunshine streaming in the window. I thought it was about 7 AM, but no, it was only 5 AM!!! We are lovin' all this light, and are trying to ignore the fact that all good things come to an end, and we'll have the opposite
to deal with in the winter.
