I woke up this morning and opened the curtains expecting to see the usual view from my house of the Seto Inland Sea. Imagine how surprised I was to find instead, Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic. It was like a fairy tale: Prague Castle up on the hill overlooking pastel-colored baroque buildings in the city below.
Then it all came back to me. My husband and I had arrived in the Czech Republic by train late last night. We walked through the dark streets until we finally reached the flat in the city center where we had arranged to rent a room.
Again, I looked out the window and admired the beauty of Prague. Then I looked at my watch. It was noon! I hadn't overslept since high school.
