Random Sights

I’ve been seriously delinquent about posting. So, here is an attempt to play catch up. I will go through my pictures chronologically and choose the best to post.
While shopping in a mall, I stopped to rest on a bench outside this hiphop dance studio. I watched the boys practicing their routine. It’s good to see kids getting significant exercise and enjoying it. It was all boys, no girls, although the instructor was female. Then …
this girl stopped to watch. I’m assuming she was thinking she would like to do that, too. I hope the studio has sessions for girls.
This is not an unusual sight. Both the flatbed tricycle and the relaxation pose. A great deal of stuff gets moved around the city via flatbed tricycle.
We spent all of July in Prague, Czech Republic.
The first third of each day was spent in language school getting our introduction to the Czech language.
One of my favorite things to do is check out the window displays of antique shops. Who wouldn’t want a nude riding an ostrich?
Prague is beautiful and the longer we stay there, the more deeply we love it and feel at home.
We took two weekend day trips. One to Tabor.
The second was to Brno.
We went on a bus tour. It only runs on the weekends and it is a small bus with a driver and a guide. We were the only paying passengers, so we got a personal tour. The tour route went by architecturally significant buildings and there were a few stops when we could get out and get a closer look. I accidentally took this artsy fartsy picture of the Löw-Beer Villa.
We also saw this lovely country retreat home of an architect named Jurkovic.
August brought us back to Shanghai and I was back at work. The first challenge was to swap out old metal shelving for new wooden, wheeled shelves.
And so began our fifth year here.
Living the Travel Channel 
Ok, Kanga. If I lived alone, I’d totally have the ostrich in my house somewhere. Just to make me laugh out loud.
