Baba

Sunday day trip: short bus rip uphill from Hradčanská took us to Baba. Beautiful part of Praha 6 on a hill with magnificient views all around.  After a walk down to Podbaba, lunch at cosy restaurant Pod Juliskou with surprisingly good choices for a veggie as well. And an ice cream stall with an apt name. Not.

BBQ # infinite

Oh, I have lost count on barbeques already. Whenever the weather permits, we pack our baskets and grill and head to Stromovka. Last time we had tabbouleh (with bulgur, so much tastier than couscous) and raw cauliflower salad with grilled zucchini and sweet potatos.  NB. The bird was not on the menu.

Mlsna Kavka

"Picky jackdaw" is a veggie restaurant in Karlin, Prague 8. After a long walk a tempeh burger with fries was just what I craved for. Juicy, big and tasty. Also I had one of the best home-made lemon limonades ever. M had falafel salad, which also was good. Falafels were fresh, moist and not dry at all. The restaurant employs people rehabilitating from mental problems and disorders, so the service can sometimes be slow or shy. Even more reason to support the establishment.

Midsummer spell

Old Finnish midsummer spell tells you to pick 7 different flowers during Midsummer night and place them under your pillow. That way the future beau will appear in the dream. Even though that wasn't necessarily needed, here are the flowers.

Conquering a different Prague at Libeňský ostrov

We had a wonderfully different Midsummer day trip to allotment garden area at Libeňský ostrov. Although the gardens were locked and we only could have a glimpse of them, the area was very nice. Lazy, village-like and green. To my great delight, we bumped into a statue park all of a sudden in the middle of nowhere. After that, walking and cycling route between Vltava and Karlin took us through a huge wasteland with lush vegetation. Truly imagination-provoking landscapes.

Elephant dream

I am peeling an apple and handing it over to an elephant. The elephant (she) takes the pieces carefully with her trunk. All of a sudden I see a hand picking the apple pieces, the elephant has transformed into a girl. She tells me that she's lonely and would rather stay with other elephants. I feel so guilty. I had thought that our elephant was happy and content with us, humans. The elephant has just been too kind and gentle to complain earlier.
