Christmas markets have popped up all over Prague and all of a sudden a new flood of people has shown up. It's even crazier here than it was at the end of the summer. People are still lining up and waiting (in much larger masses than the summer) to see the anti-climatic hourly ringing of the astronomical clock. The actual clock is beautiful, beautiful, beautiful but there's no need to wait to see the hour change. I can't even explain it, but I think anyone who has seen it would agree.
ANYWAYS,
Christmas turns Prague into a another beautiful Prague and I've been going on walks just to look around. I keep forgetting to bring my camera around, it seems that I've almost gotten over that part of the trip, but I've really got to sometime over the next two weeks. There are decorations everywhere, the Christmas booths have taken over most parts of the city, there are constant carolers in Old Town Square and they've even uncovered the Jan Hus monument again, which I have gone to see twice since it was unveiled on Saturday.
Classes are winding down and final projects are underway (kind of...). All the commotion and the idea of leaving soon keep forcing me to think about what I am going to miss the most (writing essays in czech about what you're going to miss help this train of thought along as well). I think I've decided. I think the thing that I am going to miss the most is the sky in Prague. I love it. It is so so so beautiful. It's HUGE (not bombarded by skyscrapers) and it is gorgeous. Walking home from class today I caught the sunset just behind the Prague castle. Pinks and purples... ahh. It was magical.
Yes, I'm going to miss the sky the most.
