Christmas in Prague

This year we're staying put.  We did once before but that year we had family come over to spend the holiday with us.  Not this time.

Thanksgiving has already passed and as Christmas approaches I'm feeling a bit wistful and somewhat homesick.  Then this morning I saw this... and was reminded how lucky I am to be here.


Night in Prague from Metron on Vimeo.


While I may miss  loved ones, and the warmer temperatures, all in all, this isn't a bad place to be.  Just in case you watched and were wondering how much of this is part of our regular experience - the answer is a lot.  That iconic bridge is around the corner from our school and a number of shots are from within a one block radius.  The other areas are the squares we go to for Christmas shopping, to watch the traditional seasonal performances, or walk through to get to a club, movie theater and a few restaurants we like. In other words - this video may be a highlight of the pretty stuff, but it's also showing you areas that are part of our practical life.

Prague really is beautiful.
