I decided preemptively to visit as many traditional teahouses, bookstores, and churches as possible when I was in Prague. My thesis (in part) detailed analyses of Gothic church architecture; Prague is the perfect city for me in which to enjoy more Gothic churches.
My hometown, Tucson, Arizona, is home to Seven Cups Tea, which is a traditional Chinese teahouse and wholesaler. Tucson is lucky to have a consistent, authentic teahouse. So is Prague, though Prague has many more than just one! I love spending time in teahouses because they are great vehicles for me to think quietly and reflect.
Bookstores: my achilles point. If I had a travel headline, it would be: “Solo Female Traveler Weighed Down by Paperbacks.” I bring my kindle in vein for every trip, knowing that I will eventually succumb and buy the amount of books I will read during the time I am there. Normally, a book/week. During the summer? 2/week.
Cheers from Prague,
MEG
