It was a lovely, rainy morning this morning. Not that I spent too much time out in it, but I had an umbrella so after I dropped Sam off at school and stopped off at Mustek to buy him a monthly tram pass I decided to walk over to Namesti Republiky instead of going all the way down to the yellow line platform to take the Metro one station.
Back up to the surface and it’s amazing how every time you come out of the metro at a station like Mustek it’s a little bit of a surprise because you do kind of get turned around down there and it takes a half second to re-orient yourself.
Anyway, it’s always a lovely walk down Na Prikope, whether it’s on a blazing hot summer afternoon when crowds of tourists and curiousity seekers gather around to watch a juggler or a mime, on a dark evening just before Christmas when the lights are blazing and the store windows cast their commercial light on the pure, white snow, or in the middle of a busy, working day as all of the beautiful women who work in the shops, offices, banks and travel agencies flit here and there, as beautiful and ephemeral as fireflies in the night, or on a morning like this morning.
It was just after 8 a.m., things were opening up, the rain kept the number of people down and the sidewalk was decorated with puddles, reflecting puddles.
A couple of months ago I had a problem with my knee and this walk would have been seriously painful and it went on long enough, despite electro-massage therapy, that I was worried it was going to be permanent, but it has faded and I enjoyed the walk, and appreciated it all the more for that.

The cold and the wet weather hurt my old knee injury…thus Florida. Up North I used knee wrap bandages, ‘heat’ creams, heating pads for the pain. I love to walk too. I hope your knee gets better.
