Images of Liboc

This is going to be kind of a new series... going to places, videotaping things I find interesting, and having a video log as well as some words ... Hope you enjoy. Check out this link either before or after you read the blog...

On the tramvaj out, the smell reminded me of church basements, but not in a good way... like when there is a potluck and everyone makes a different casserole, but none of them are any good...
Out of nowhere, I find this park, and rocky cliffs pierce the edge of Prague. Perhaps it would have been a better site for Prague Castle, as I had a hard time getting up that hill. Instead, a McDonalds looms over the valley...
On the top of the cliff, however, there is a perfect leaning rock to lay down and read some Kundera. Even the ground has a small dip to make your butt feel comfortable...
Next to the river there is a huge yellow double diving board and looks like something from an 80s summer camp movie, but attacked by age and neglect...
Finally, the leaves have begun to change, and the best of two worlds make life brilliant. Oranges, reds and yellows, and perfect weather to boot...
Old people find seats on the tramvaj and they hang on like leaches. Its understandable, and I will always give my seat to an older person, but they do it in a rough manner...
Jesus all by himself, surrounded by cars and apartment buildings and a lonely church on the hill help highlight the isolation of the Czechs from Catholicism...
Oh, to see children and families, and parks and green. The center is all tourism and offices, but out here there are families...
And for once, English speakers are not catered to. What a relief!
