To Quell My Mother's Fears

I am safe.
I am safe and sound in Vienna.

It is absolutely true that experiences are better when they are shared. Yesterday in Prague was lovely... and not just because Prague is a beautiful city, but also because I had some really nice traveling companions.
We took a tram to the city centre, walked across Charles Bridge, through the cobblestone streets and up the many stairs to Prague Castle. We went inside the cathedral and walked the 287 steps to the top!
We had lunch at an outdoor cafe and then sat and listened to the Bohemian Jazz Festival near the Astronomical Clock Tower.
The evening carried with it a little bit of chaos (what's a couple of days in Prague without some chaos) and when the bartender at the pub we went to for a couple of beers told us that his taps were broken, we decided to test out other 'traditional' Czech drinks. Needless to say, it ended in Absinthe and a fun night ensued that really turned into a fun morning as we didn't make it back until about 7am.
Whew! Perhaps that won't quell my mother's fears at all.

But now, I'm traveling solo once again. Although Vienna promises to be wonderful, I think that most of the memorable moments are because of people, not places.

Auf Weidersehen!
