That is a wonderful picture, in so many ways. :)


I give the photographer (our own mysterious Zuzana) full credit!

Zuzana was just the hands holding the camera. I give credit to the power of Medusa. ;)

Eurocents? Nah, that is Czech crowns. (1 EUR = approximately 25 CZK at the moment). Still twice cheaper?
And yes beware, that Medusa is a pagan, after all...

"Medusa Hotel" is right in the historical centre of the city, in a street leading up to the Prague Castle. The prices correspond to the fact. You can get beer for half the price elsewhere. But that just makes it match the "twice cheaper" situation in Serbia, nah?

PIVO! I haven't thought of the word for such a long time. I used to teach an ESL student who was always threatening to drink pivo at break time. His wife would roll her eyes . . . .

My husband is a terrible cook. I'm also not sure how the Lovely Mrs. DzM would react to knowing about my husband's cooking skills.

Territa
H.P. O'boyles
John from Chicago

I have had the pleasure of meeting:

Carmen
James F
Spider
Kathleen
Cdn Steve
Oblivion

I saw Georgecat and Carol from a distance, but have not met.

Fintan is my brother from another mother, but I have not met him either.

Lastly, I have never actually met Philip in person, but have benefited from his generosity and had many a discussion on-line, so I feel as if we have actually met.

EricV has always been a bit of an enigma around these parts. If you want to see what a handsome bastard he is look here....
