Mommy searches for God in Prague

Tuesday, November 23rd, 2004

Day 2….

Mommy tried to go to church on Sunday. But mass was at 8 AM……

I told Hello Kitty I’d meet her under the clock in Old Town. She said ok. So Mommy took me out for a walk in Prague while everybody else slept in.

Prague is pretty.

Mommy likes street art…

Ok…now Louie goes back to the […]

dobre den!

Prague was lovely. I miss Sara. I wish we could go back….we followed the legend’s instructions…we should be back someday.

We took Louie with us to Prague…met up with our Medill buddy Sara and she let us stay in here flat.
We figured Louie would be better adapted to the cold weather…in the 30s….and it snowed on […]

Some highlights from the Czech Republic

Tuesday, November 23rd, 2004

Just got back from Prague around midnight last night….It was beautiful, old-looking and cold. It was 50 degrees at London’s Stansted Airport….that felt like a heatwave…
I miss Prague.

Louie has an adventure and meets a new friend…

Hanging with Sara and drinking cheap beer…ok Mark and I drank the beer…Sara had diet coke…or something.
And I have more […]

working on a story…

Friday, November 19th, 2004

for somebody…doing a freelancer type of thing.
I found a few Americans in this crowd of Mac lovers….queueing for the new Apple store opening tomorrow….

So, I interviewed the Americans and pitched to the Medill News Service….I may be able to get a byline out of this European experience.

These American chaps have been here since yesterday. […]

A rainy night…

Friday, November 19th, 2004

So I forgot to do something at work…I asked Mark to take a tube ride to Chancery Lane with me….

We passed by Carnaby Road…..The lights dazzled me. So we took a little detour to see the Xmas decorations…

It also rained last night….we ended up doing dinner at ‘57′….we were about to leave right after dinner […]

Florence

Monday, November 15th, 2004

Ok….we went to Florence this weekend…..

We wanted to travel lightly - the budget airlines tend to charge you an arm and leg for checking in heavy language. Mark and I agreed - only traveling with carrying-on bags….so we had to make a choice between two bears…..both have visited Rome already.
They agreed that Andre gets […]

More interesting things from work…

I got a kick out of watching this story from the Philippines - they now have a fast food restaurant that serves only spam dishes….yummy. I hope you can have a side order of rice.
Arafat was buried today ….our newsroom carried the videos live fore several stations - from CNN to Sky News.
My producer […]

More fun things from last weekend…

Thursday, November 11th, 2004

We went clubbing on Friday night….the Hippedrome…..it was 15 pounds to get in….it was expensive - but at least it had some great music….the Brits don’t really get funky on the dance floor - but then again - some folks in bay area clubs need to stay off the caffeine….

On Sunday, we took a second […]

my job: sit down and watch tv

Wednesday, November 10th, 2004

Mark: “I am not your helper monkey….”
Oh but wait…today I am….it’s ok….I’m a willing monkey today. In order to help other producers practice hard-hitting journalism - I had the task of reviewing the nominations for the greatest hits of the past year….for a year-end compilation….
I got to review the very cool and wacky features for […]

More pix from Covent Gardens…

Mark and I both wanted to visit this open air/indoor market and walk in the footsteps of Eliza Doolittle…

Audrey Hepburn was so wonderful in My Fair Lady….It’s a shame that the rest of the entertainment community was so set against her for taking the role. Everyone wanted Julie Andrews to reprise her role as Eliza […]
