Today, my little brother Willy got to taste of the city on board one of the historic trams that circulate through Prague every hour and show you what riding a tram a hundred years ago was like. They work like any other tram in service except that the only place where you can come aboard is at the tram shed, the first stop of the route. Besides that you can leave the tram at any of the stops along the way. The main purpose of our trip was to let Willy ride on the metro and the trains, which he loves with the burning passion of three suns. In his own little Willy slang he dubbed the metro “tunnel train” and the tram “sun train”. When our tram pulled into the station he could barely keep himself from jumping up and down.
The “sun train” made a loose circle around Prague giving any tourists on board (like me *cough cough*) a great chance to take pictures of the city. While I was shooting pictures like crazy I thought that I might as well give you something the other trams to compare with what I rode in today. The round pill-like one is the kind of tram that I am most familiar with because it’s the kind that I have been riding all my life. The sleek turbo one is seemingly a new addition to the tram family and is most likely the kind of tram that I will be riding in the future.

Jack White has a third band, The Dead Weather. I’ve been listening to them online, and I’m pretty addicted.
I’ve also decided to grow my hair back out into a bob. But, you know me. I’ll have chopped it all off again by spring.
I miss you!!
Figures you’re changing your hair style…again
