Here’s another batch of odds and ends. Hope you enjoy.
When we think of Europeans, we think of small portions. But at a whopping 1.75 liters, these are the biggest cokes we’ve ever seen. They’re huge!
Great sign – how odd it’s in English. The prices are: Espresso = $1.75, Latte Macchiato = $2.40, Croissant = $1.05
This is a potato. Sliced thin and threaded onto a skewer (or maybe the other way around?), then deep fried. Neat and yummy!
Interesting sculptures. Sorry we didn’t get to check out the identification.
Okay, this is the way to tour the city!
Beautiful clock. Sorry about the reflection.
I have no idea.
The only street toilet we saw in Prague.
Hey, isn’t that the bear from the Steiff store window? GET HIM!
The only mime we saw, this one was in Old Town Square and, as always, people loved him.
Okay, a few words about toilets – known in Europe as Water Closets or WC’s. Public toilets are usually very well marked, even on tourist city maps. They are almost never free and sometimes have an attendant who can give you change if necessary. Even if they have an attendant, the toilets are coin operated and almost always cost .50 Euro (about $.50) or the equivalent in local currency. Without an attendant, identifying the right coin in local currency can be tricky but other patrons are very helpful. And no matter where the public toilets are, they are immaculate, never in need of repair and never without supplies. The photo above was taken at a Shell station where our shuttle stopped for a break on the way from Salzburg to Prague. I suspect not all gas stations are like this, but here the turnstyle was coin-operated and the toilets were beautiful and spotless.

You know me I love the details on everyday life. Was it as hard to find a bathroom there as it often was in Paris?
