in less than one total week, i planned for and signed up to head to prague for an extended mlk weekend. it was a great trip - as trips to europe go.. but the food was by far the greatest of the weekend. that is a grand statement in that i toured the pilsner urquell brewery and tasted the goods from a wooden barrel (only brewed for quality against the slick, metal types these days). cabbage soup is my nirvana. i could not get enough.. and who even knew that goulash was actually a tasty dish? overall, prague is a cold place. not necessarily temperature-wise as it was actually colder in atlanta that weekend. the people in their dark clothing and the dark architecture make for cold relations with the city.
I really enjoy traveling and knowing new places, but if you really want to know exactly what it is about traveling that I find so fulfilling - it's humanity. No matter where I go the world over, the people I meet are incredible. Whether it is the kid in Cambodia or the random in a bus station who helps me along, it always seems that I find the exact right person in my life exactly when I need it. It's really amazing!
