Czech it out...

One of the things I miss in Sweden is spring... it comes late and gallops along with undue haste to catch up... so it was a pleasant & relaxing change to sit in the taxi going into Prague and see the fresh green face of spring.

It is a lovely city, with fine old buildings and winding streets - plenty enough of both for a couple of days of touristing, seeing the sights and taking pictures (check them out - click on the picture). But it's not a city break we have come for, but a salsa festival... so the weekend brings a distinct change of pace.

Lots of people from half of europe (the eastern half!) thronging a capacious building not far from the city-centre. Lessons: salsa, rueda, bachata, cha-cha, footwork .. & more salsa, and in the evenings; simply dance, until the wee small hours. After all, practice makes perfect... (but it's going to need a lot of practice!)

Ahhhh... the joys of spring :-)

Just arrived

The taxi stopped to let us out right in front of Marks & Spencers, over the road from C&A and Debenhams. It gave an unexpected feeling of déja vu. This isn't Coventry or Harrogate... it's Prague!
...and we're here for a salsa festival. With a bit of time over to look around first.
Time I got started!

Down to the water's edge...

The clocks have changed, and the equinox has passed and spring is in the air - all of which means, among other things, that I have my sunsets back.
And that's so nice! You only have to see to understand - and so see you shall.

Not all this album is from my window - I cheated just a little and took my camera down to the water's edge. But you get the picture... :-)
