prague...

this is sunrise from jans place.... it looks over this amazing church on one side and the palace on the other third is a forest
this is the stunt where jan was shooting.... a big crane mtakes a guy out of the pool ...he is supposed to be a dolphin man who does flips and comes to the top for a chocolate....we went swimming whilst jan worked... amazing big slides to come shooshing down
dimitri jan and i chilling out after his work... beer and smokes

and with samantha...who has been a doll... w have been roaming together every day...yesterday went to the ballet

jans office... it totally floored us... its over 4000 sqare feet, big comps everywhere, a bar, coffee makes, big sofas, a balconey outside where we are having port winejan always working... here we are at the park watching the sunset, and hes looking at the shooting script .. he will leave 5.30 in the morning return at 9 at nite .... and still be freindly and smiling


beautiful prague...
one of the most beautiful places i have been to.... it is full of energy... we went to this jazz club down the road, most things are in the basement, with brick walls , and in this closed place listened to jazz with about 50 people drinking and smoking....
then there are literally thousands of art galleries and museums everywhere.... KGB museum, the underground places, music literally everywhere... kids drumming in the alleys... its almost as if they are basking in this burst of creativity after being under communism so long....
the writers are also great... been reading here
summer is over, and now there are grey skies and little drizzles....
time to move
