Letters from Europe:

More photos from Prague

    By Jack Grant

I promised more photos from Prague, here are a few. As always, click on the images below for a larger photo. More are on the way.

The earlier photos are here:

Inside Saint Vitius cathedral

Memorial to all those whose lives were ruined or lost because of Communism

First, for those who forget, Budweiser is not an American name, and the Budweiser beer in Prague is much, MUCH better than the beer sold beneath that name in the US.

Prague-Budweiser

Next, some skyline photos:

Prague-Skyline-Low


Prague-Skyline-2

A view from a church tower of a famous bridge (the name of which I forget, I'll look it up...), which you can see is completely packed with people:

Prague-Bridge

A view across the river to what I believe is the Prague Opera House:


Prague-Opera-House

And finally, some graffiti making a pointed political statement, written on the wall of a School for the Graphic Arts (there's a pun in there, somewhere):

Prague-Graffiti

More to come, along with photos from Paris.

Random Fate - latest posts


We don't handle randomness well.
   -Dr. Lucy Jones



Trying to hold the center in not so quiet desperation while the left and the right do their damnest to tear everything apart.


What Others Say
An American transplanted to France for the moment, Jack is sometimes conservative, sometimes liberal, and almost always right.
   -Pennywit

Jack has an impressive knowledge of history, politics, and Keanu Reeves. When it comes to pirates, Jack is waaay sexier than that pansy Dread Pirate Roberts. Oh, wait--I'm thinking of Jack Sparrow...
   -Jennifer (Jennifer's History and Stuff)


Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the center cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
   -William Butler Yeats, January 1919


Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
   -Dandemis


Wahabism Delenda Est
Wahabism must be destroyed.
-John Donovan, 12 May 2004
