A cup of caj at Detsky Ostrov


Yesterday we went to Detsky Ostrov- Children's island. Detsky are children. Damsky are women. I can't remember what men are. I guess I don't have them on the mind, just Caleb in particular because it is our eight year wedding anniversary, and we get two hours in the park alone together as it is Sofie and Anja's pottery class day. Woo- hooo!!! That was in all seriousness. Ya gotta take what you can get- every minute counts!! Back to Detsky Ostrov- It is a lovely island dedicated to children. It has all kinds of fun play structures starting with a ship for toddlers and slowly progressing to things for big kids like skate ramps at the far end. It also has a restaurant / cafe/ bar where you ought to order beer as it is cheaper, bigger, and probably far tastier than the black tea I continue to order for some inane reason. The beer here comes with a very large head, foam about one fifth of your glass. They say its their tradition, or trademark in the not so very accurate Prague guide we bought in England. But that is the way the beer comes, every time. The Budweiser, the original Budweiser is from here and was obviously the original or the American Budweiser would have run it out of existence by now as corporations/ businesses in the land of lawsuit tend to do. This is a big city with much fine culture and something for everyone. I love that about cities. Still, don't order the black tea. I think one reason I would like to have a tea shop is simply to put out a decent cup of tea, as it so rare.
