Seeking History's Individual Cities: Prague and Vienna

0/5 ( ratings)

From Moscow to Istanbul in bars and museums the whole way through, I trekked the paths of history on a $20 pair of shoes. In the span of 36 days I visited 10 different countries questing with a sensational hunger for places of historical note so that I might understand and experience all that could be learned in sites both well-traveled and near forgotten. Blisters and hangovers and even angry Greek communists couldn’t stop me, and I’d love to share with you my fascinating experiences and thoughts on the fall of the three empires I saw.

Every night during my journey I would write a journal of my experiences and publish them online. Family and friends read along and became drawn in to the presence of the scenes and wonders. Utilizing this method, I have assembled my journals for your enjoyment to experience along with me as if we were sitting down and sharing my tale the day it happened. Come along! Together we shall seek history and all its life-affirming tales.

In this third set of cities we explore the expatriate-beloved city of Prague. The best bars and best-loved traveling sites in the world are here and I delve deep into the whole scene. Vienna is a shining city on the hill for Europe, though it gilds a gruesome past.
