Prague -- Spring 2009

"The first day of spring is one thing, and the first spring day is another. The difference between them is sometimes as great as a month." ~Henry Van Dyke

Ah, springtime in Prague. There is no greater time to be in the city, in my opinion. The trees and flowers are blooming, the temperature is hovering in the 70s, the beer gardens are re-opening for the season. The three of us have upped our park visiting ante and have also made a pact to see more of the Czech Republic each weekend, now that the weather is nice.

Our old friends Ben and Vanessa spent the Easter holiday with us, flying in from Zurich. We had a wonderful few days together, strolling around town, eating everything in sight and celebrating the coming of baby Spirit Wolf (that's Ben's choice for their first baby, due in September). It was so nice spending time with the happy couple and remembering how oddly magical it felt, waiting for Lolo to arrive.

Here's to a fantastic Spring. Hoping to hear from each of you.
