It's a good thing neither of us miss having a car, because we're 100% public transportation-dependent now. Here's BW activating our Open Cards, which we loaded with a year's worth of transit for about $250 each:
BW used to spend $250 in one month on commuting gas alone in the US!
Transit aside, our neighborhood is very walkable; within a few-block radius, we have...
- a butcher shop with different cuts of meat than we're used to and big slabs of lard
- a baker with wonderful bread smells
- stores selling everything from stationary to shoes
- an open-air market 3x per week
- Jayda's beloved pet shop
- cafes, pubs and restaurants
- a vinoteka where, with a plastic bottle and $5, one can get 1.5 liters of decent Czech wine
- a grubby little post office
- 2 metro (subway) stations and many tram stops
- regal old churches and theaters, etc.
Being that this is a post-Communist place, there is also a lot of graffiti but it sort of becomes negligible when there are so many beautiful/interesting things to gawk at.
Between the walkability and the near- perfect weather, we've been outside a lot:
 |
| Grocery shopping at the J.Podebrad Friday market |
 |
| Being befuddled by David Cerny art in Mala Strana |
 |
| Hanging with swans along the Vltava River |
 |
| Soaking up good vibes at the Prague Pride festival |
 |
| Trampling the cool cobblestones after sundown |
 |
| Discovering hidden history, like this Jewish graveyard that's not on any of our maps |
 |
| Taking walk breaks in city gardens |

| Running errands, like getting my watch battery changed at this clock store |
 |
| Drooling over yummy Czech sweet roll things called Trdlo |
 |
| Hopping on and off trams when our feet are shot |
