Where is my Home? (Kde Domov Muj?)

Warning: This blog will use the "P" word many times. And if you are easily offended, or annoyed by the "P" word then you should leave now!!

I am sitting here at my computer, with a picture of charles bridge at dusk on my monitor. And i miss it. It has been almost a year since i've been back to the Czech Republic, and not a day has passed since i thought about it. Living there last year was one of the best decisions of my life. But i also know that i couldn't have stayed and been happy. So, i think i got out, while it was still fun and exciting, and left before it got to be boring, and monotonous.

Prague is beautiful. But Prague at night will steal your heart. I've walked around almost every major European city, some are amazing, but none compare to Prague at night. The cobble stone echoes through the silent streets, which are basked in this beautiful yellow orange light.

I remember on my last night there, i went on a Prague walk, and went throughout the entire castle area. Normally, i dont like going on a walk of the castle, due to the annoying tourists, but it was December 1st, and almost midnight. As i was walking through the castle gates, i walked to a wall, that overlooks the entire city. It is the most panaramic view of Prague. On my right, i see Petrin tower... (the Eifel tower knock off) and on my left, i see the giant horse everything is just glowing. It is at this point that i had to remind myself to breathe.

I know i talk about Prague alot. But i love it.

And i hope that one day, i will be able to show you all around, and have the perfect Prague walk!

I'm glad that i have that off my chest. I dont think that words alone can express how much i love that city. (Not the people, just the city... :) ) It truly is, an amazing place.
