Friday the last of May. Sitting in our hotel room in Prague waiting for the rain to stop, or at least, moderate. Looking forward to a performance of magic flute tonight at the state opera. The choir returned to the states Tuesday from Salzburg where we'd been for several days. Our friend Franz Knecht met us that day whence we spent a beautiful day in the nearby mountains, specifically st. Gilgens and the Wolfgangsee (lake). On to Prague the next day by train. Enjoyed a nice choir and organ concert yesterday in a church where we had sung during our first days in Prague with the choir.
I'm hanging in all right, but I do get tired walking the hills and cobblestones of Prague. It doesn't help that there is not a right angle intersection in the town and the maps are nearly impossible to make out. But we've managed to find our way ultimately on every outing. Zora is doing a great job at navigating this strange town, which is a good thing as my capacity to take it all in is not what it used to be. People have been very helpful which is a good thing, especially since our Czech is not much to be proud of either.
Off to figure out more about the city, like how to find the opera tonight.
Cheers,
Ross
