on the road

after a long hiatus I'm back. that's because I am finally on vacation !
Yesterday (was it just yesterday ?) I flew from paris to prague and from prague to split, with a 6 hour layover, which ended up being a very good thing for at least two reasons, the first is that we left paris late due to a bomb scare at the airport, the second is that it gave me time to go to prague and take a bike tour through the city.

I would highly recommend doing the bike tour through prague ! It is a very nice way to get a feel of the city and get oriented, it is the first time I had done such a thing but apparently it is possible in other cities as well. I will post pictures as soon as I find a way to upload them. Prague is a jewel of a city, very beautiful, I will defenetly go back, for longer next time, and probably not in august, too many tourists. I almost killed a few of them because I was not used to the cruiser bike with the backpedal brakes !

now I am in split, doing a workshop on interdisciplinary research, it begins tonight. The setting is fantastic and the weather has cooled down since last week, which is a good thing. This morning I woke up early and took a nice walk through the quiet sunday morning downtown, the market was already buzzing with activity, and now I think back of the figs and blackberries that I didn't buy...
