Gallerie Jakubska, an Old Town Square Lunch, Letna Park

Another Nice day here in Old Prague. Stopped to see a friend at his Gallerie behind Old Town Square. Cool Paintings, had lunch looking out over old Town Square; Petit quantity of food, cafe style, all for close to 1000 crowns.. BUT, the view and sitting in the sunshine made it worthwhile. Later, nice dinner on Michalska; excellent.

National Museum, Karluv Most, Řičany, Mukařov

Sunny day today; Visited the National Muzeum for a few hours; walked again over the Charles Bridge since the sun was in Full shine; spent the evening with a friend, his wife and her sister in their lovely home in Mukařov(26 km South of Prague) for a BBQ; great wine, good conversation and wonderful grilled chicken, pork, sausage and Hermelin(Brie) na grilu... a really nice evening, a beautiful sunset, on into the night. Got back about 12:30am. ...a really nice time with good friends...

Jo, co & no

Three words heard all the time here in the Czech Republic, and so different from their English "meanings".

Jo, (sounds like Yo) is said a lot here: it means: Ok, or the equivalent of OK.
Co, pronounced like "so" means: What!!?
No, is short for ano, which means Yes.

Jo, is not the "Yo" of "Rocky Balboa" or of young "american" hipsters trying to get your attention, but is a word of Agreement, meaning "ok"..."Sure".
one hears "no" all the time, but it means the opposite of no, but yes!(really confusing when you hear it, usually as two people converse... no, no, no, yes confusing)
and co is THE Czech word for: What??? Co Ze?

tak...oh yes, "tak"... tak means "so" or using a larger word.. "therefore"..

tak, Got it?

Vyšehrad, Rain, Riegrovy sady, Rain...

..but warm Today. It was a nice Spring day, thunder storms but brief. Visited Vyšehrad, the site of the first Prague Castle, over looking the Vltava. Walked from there down into the Nusle "valley" and back up the other side, then took the tram to Jirího z poděbrad and had lunch at the beer garten. Sat on the hill overlooking Prague for quite awhile.
