Prague Stories: On the Metro

Sketching

One of the things we spent lots of time doing every day was traveling back and forth between our hotel and either the outreach location or the church.  Prague, as do many other European cities, has an excellent system of subways, trams and buses.  We were able to purchase 30-day unlimited passes, which meant we could hop on any public transit at any time of day, and travel pretty much anywhere in the city.

Still, it was a couple of hours of travel time each day!  In order to not waste time, one of my favorite things to do was to pull out the sketch book and draw, usually picking different people on the subway.  Of course, it was a little tricky trying to look at people—trying to not look like I was looking at them­—and sketch them before they moved!

Oh, and I had to make sure I paid just enough attention to where we were to not miss the station where we had to get off!
