Hello Prague: Charming Signs In Old Town
Prague is an amazing city, (see all of my posts so far here) chock full of visual inspiration everywhere you look, not to mention packed to the gills with the kind of souvenir shops that I drool over! I can’t wait to go back just to shop some more……Okay, but we are talking about charming signs, lest I digress, and I should mention that regardless of where our travels take us, I am always on the lookout for interesting graphics and especially cute store signs. Prague did not disappoint, I spotted a few really great ones, which I’m sharing with you here, and if you ever open your own business…

Hello Prague: Geraniums Add Whimsy To Historic Architecture
No matter where our travels take us, as a container gardening enthusiast I am always on the lookout for lovely window boxes and container gardens, commercial or not, and I often share these finding with you here. Our visit to Prague last October was no exception, and while the city does not seem to invest in numerous public installations of flowers on a large scale, there were sweet displays of colorful flowers, mostly in the form of window boxes, and overwhelmingly geraniums, here and there, prompting me to pull out my camera. So, as I continue sharing my photos from our trip a full year ago, lets pause for a…

Hello Prague: The Starbucks On The Old Town Square With A View!
We do not have Starbucks in Israel, surprisingly enough, so it is a treat to get some of my favorite coffee, with kosher soy milk, almost every place I’ve visited around the world, ah, with the exception of Kiev, as I believe the Ukraine has no Starbucks! So, having been up all night due to a 3am arrival time to the Tel Aviv airport for our flight to Prague, I was sooooo happy to see a Starbucks appear before my eyes on our first outing in this new city. Ahhhhh, some coffee before we continue our adventures sounds good right about now, and lttle did I know, as I did…

Hello Prague: The Astronomical Clock On The Old Town City Hall
Continuing our tour of Prague, I now present to you, one of the top tourist attractions in Prague, the Astronomical clock! Between you and me, yes it is very old and significant, a great work of craftmanship and beautiful, but given everything else Prague has to offer, hmmmm, this clock is way down on my list of things to see. But hey, it is part of the Old Town City Hall, that is a must, so take a look at the clock, on your way in, and if you can, do plan to be there for the little show of figures on the hour, (the walk of the apostles) but…

Hello Prague: View From The Old Town Hall Tower
Our trip to Prague a full year ago is still fresh in our minds and hearts, as truthfully Prague is amazing. And while it seems that Prague hasn’t been really discovered by all those west of the Czech republic, it has been discovered by many, and is not a destination to consider during the summer when I’ve read it is packed to the gills. Our trip was in October, and there were still quite a few tourists, but it was totally bearable and I was cringing to think of this amazing place even more crowded that it was during the Fall. As you can see from my photos in…

Hello Prague: The Certovka Canal
The Certovka Canal or Certovka Channel, take your pick, is just one little picturesque spot in the big picturesque picture of the city of Prague, in the Czech Republic. Prague took by breath away with practically every step, and given that I happen to be a little hard to please when it comes to visual stimulation, well that says a lot. Prague may not be for everyone, but I can’t stop raving about it, even a year after our trip! This sweet little canal is something I would love to explore more when I hopefully make it back to Prague, and at that point I would like to take a…
