We took the tram to the Modern Art Museum in the Holesovice neighborhood, and it was very nice, but a lot of it was closed for renovation. The parts that were open were exclusively Czech art, and Molly was struck by how many excellent artists were featured who made extremely relevant art, whom she'd never heard of because they weren't from the U.S. or Paris.
It was Saturday afternoon and we wandered around the neighborhood looking for vintage stores, but little or nothing was open for some reason. Even the stores that listed open hours for Saturday afternoon had signs up saying that they were closed. Then we went to Hillbilly Burger, and had a very good burger and some nachos with pulled pork.
We took the Metro subway to a different neighborhood thinking that maybe something would be open on Saturday afternoon, but again, not so much. We walked back to the hotel and took a breather.
Molly was craving some pasta, so we went to a fresh-pasta place (Pasta Fresca) in the center of the tourist maelstrom, which was actually decent, not crowded, and not overly expensive. We wandered around looking for souvenirs for a bit, got frustrated with that, and went back to the room where Molly packed and I typed, and then we finished watching the rest of 2001.
