.....a Perfect Summer Afternoon





On this August First Afternoon, after coming back from Hořovice, I went in search of a spot to enjoy a breeze and a glass of wine.

It was almost the perfect quintessential Summer day. Mid-70's, blue sky, with wisps of high clouds and a delightful light breeze. Found some shade aside an ancient wall and under an umbrella along the river.

The river was alive with small paddle boats guided by lovers and friends along with the breezes, in close proximity with the large Tour boats as they tooted their loud horns with impatience.

Decided on a light late lunch of Gazpacho, with healthy pieces of shaved Parmesan, assorted breads, along with a chilled Rose from Chile. Hit the spot, as did the atmosphere, sunshine, river traffic all with the back drop of the Charles Bridge, and concert music from !Marksman Island!.

There was Just one thing missing which would have made this day perfect...
