Gimpy Update.

Well, I *am* mobile, but I'm super slow. It seems like I can get about for very short distances (around the hotel, say) with one crutch (and around the room with no crutches), but for being out and about, it looks like I still need two. This being the EU, the crutches are those Kerry Weaver-style crutches, which I'd never used before. I've learned ( Read more... )

I remember you breaking yourself. I didn't have a LJ yet (you still needed a code in those days), but I tried to remember to follow yours, as calling you to catch up was less of an option than when you were stateside.

Ha, I love that you used *that* shot of Kerry Weaver.

As a smoker, (Bad, I know), I have to say I felt pretty comfortable smoking in Italy. Everyone smokes. (Even though Italy banned smoking in a lot of indoor places, everyone smoked outside on the street side cafes) No one gives you dirty looks if you light up. People sometimes reach over to light your cigarette for you. I still practiced my rule of stubbing my cigarette out if people with children sat close to us, even if the parents started smoking.

I'm not sure cologne will help - it will only make you smell like cigarettes and perfume. Can you do some laundry at the hotel?

I was hoping someone would click through to that picture. :)

Crutches? Did I miss something?

No worries. I think you were busy having all the skin scalded off your hand and chest at the time. :(

I *love* Prague but I can't imagine what you could do there on crutches. I think I walked 10 miles a day when I was there. But that probably doesn't matter since it's 8pm or whatever there by now anyway. You can drink the beer that's cheaper than water.

Today I rode one of the tram lines all the way to the end, where I got on *another* tram line and rode that most of the way to the end. Not a terrible way to see the city, actually.

It snowed today, which has left all the cobblestones covered in an ice slick. Awesome timing.
