Esperanzaaaaa in Prahaaaaa

Caught the Esperanza Spalding concert last night at Hudebni Divadlo Karlin.

A phenomenal show.

I appreciate the genre, but I'm hardly a Jazz follower. So considering all the buzz I had heard about Spalding—Jazz prodigy, the surprise Grammy win much to the dismay of Justin Bieber fans, blah, blah, blah—my expectations were “up there”. And...and there was the 2500kc I had paid for two tickets on Monday. More on this in a bit.

A Prague Saturday in Review: Krivoklat, Beroun, United Islands

Back to blogging again while the podcast series takes a Summer hiatus.

Last Saturday, I managed to pack in a few new experiences, planned and otherwise, into my Prague-Czech routine.

Krivoklat, Part 1

A popular castle about 90 minutes outside of Prague. It had been on my to-visit list forever until two weeks ago when a girlfriend and I discussed getting out of the city for a day trip. Two other pals signed on for the excursion.

We were scheduled to catch a 9:40am train.

Now, imagine four women with different ideas about timeliness....

We congratulated ourselves on catching the 9:45am train—not bad!

But what a big difference five minutes makes.
