On a three week trip, everything is more intense. Every day has to be taken advantage of, because there are so few of them. While a three week holiday might end up feeling long, a three week trip home quickly becomes a blur. And with jet lag to deal with, getting on schedule quickly is essential.
In order to keep ourselves awake, after an excessively long day of travel, as soon as we got to Marianske Lazne, we went for a walk. Being back in that comfortable place had a magical effect on both of us. It was as though several years evaporated and we were young lovers once more. We walked through the parks, holding hands and remembering dreams of making the abandoned ruins our future homes.

We've lost so much of that wonderful architectural language in the US. The Old World is truly a treasure, and being there adds a romantic feeling you'd be hard pressed to recreate in the states. Lovely shots.

That's part of why I have always wanted to write, to recapture the lives that have been, or might be.
It's a pretty last photo.
I test out everywhere in my head as a potential home, so I can imagine it.
