Last summer while walking around Prague we came upon a cute little pastry shop in the city center. As it always is with pastries, we couldn’t resist and ducked in for a quick bite. After looking at many delectable delicacies, we decided to settle on the WORLD FAMOUS CZECH TRDLO. … more »
We went downstairs to have coffee in the local pastry shop and the moment we took a seat the waiter asked “duas meias de leite?“. That sentence, translating into “two lattes?” made us feel at home. We were officially locals, we belonged. Having a nomadic lifestyle makes it very difficult … more »
