20220912 Terezin and Jewish Quarter: Had better night’s sleep. Up a bit after 7:00, breakfast, and left here by van about 9:00. Took about an hour to get to Terezin.
It’s a moving experience, of course. However, since we were here in 2016, Jeff and I knew what to expect. This visit had long time to wander all around the complex by ourselves rather than with a guide as in last time. Even went into a 500m tunnel passageway inside the fortress walls. I just took in as much as I could and looked for all sorts of little things as well as the overall picture.
We drove into the city itself and had a set lunch at a nice restaurant and then returned to Prague.
In the next few hours, we visited part of the Jewish Quarter. Spent time in the glorious Spanish Synagogue. Then over to the Pinkus Synagogue and a very long visit in the Old Jewish Cemetery. Loved having a time to really look at things overall and in detail. Played with textures and light. Delightful and sobering.
Walked from there through Wenceslas Square to the Statue of King Wenceslas Riding an Upside-Down Dead Horse by Cerny. This was followed by gelato at Grom and back to the hotel on the subway.
Jeff and I went out to the same place Alan and I had dinner last night. Good food. Then found ATM and back to hotel to do stuff on the computer and pack since we leave Prague tomorrow AM.
