Last Few Days in Prague - Monday, January 18, 1993
[copied from old diary]We decided to ditch Praha after our Nazi landlady tried to kill Shelly. It was kinda' scary. She was laying there in the hall with all her parts hanging out and all white and clammy looking. She's okay and we're off to Budapest.
This first "in color" installment is in order to celebrate my new colored pencils, hurray! We drank at the U Flecku beer hall. It seats a thousand and was founded in the late fourteen-hundreds. I have never liked dark beer, but the weird "13° something-or-other" (probably shouldn't be in quotes) that they serve is black like the cover of this journal, but I loved it. We drank there two nights in a row and I bought a stein.
I never mentioned the weird punk bar where we got frisked and they missed both my knives - they found my harmonica though, so I guess they weren't that inept.
I got a pro-harp in G too. Finally in G! It needs to be broken in pretty bad, but all I got in life is time, might as well have something to do with it.
Prague is a cool city. I can see why art has flourished there. There is a lot to inspire a person, sure it's a little run down now, but I think it will blossom now, with the weight of communism lifted and the separation from Slovakia.
We hit the museum today and I think I've seen every rock known to man, not to mention a million stuffed animals (some extinct), a ton of meteorites, a horde of fossils (some really amazing ones), local artifacts from the first cavemen to the Iron Age, tons of bugs (big ones and little ones) and an army of skelatons. The place was huge!
The Jewish cemetary is sorta' depressing, but worth seeing, as is just about everything in Prague.
