Prague — Special Guest Stars

I’m a lucky guy. This trip of a lifetime just reached another level of awesomeness. I met up with Sarah, Matt, Claire & Emmett this afternoon in Prague. They were coming from Budapest, and we will spend a couple of days together before they head to Berlin and I return to England. Today was fun from start to finish. They are seasoned travelers — kids included — and were able to do a really quick check in at their hotel (what Matt referred to as the ‘Czech in’) and we were off to explore Prague together beginning happily with the obligatory dad joke. Today we just wandered and took it all in. We stopped for a snack in the main square and then later for dinner at a cool pub that Matt found in his guide book. We watched the Parade of Apostles at the Astronomical Clock in the main square and walked the Charles Bridge to the other side of the Vltava River. They seem to have a very similar way of traveling as I do, and that made the whole evening just so relaxed and easy. Tomorrow we’ll meet up after breakfast to head to Prague Castle. On the walk back to my apartment, I just kept thinking how lucky I am to be able to spend this time with the Guineys and to be able to share these two days together in such an amazing place. You might even say I need to ‘Czech my privilege’ (woke dad joke).Read more
