A/typical Trip to Church

After a short bus ride, we entered the metro (subway) to cross town to where we would catch another bus to church. On the metro, we sat across from a young man who was reading . . . a Bible that was in German. However, when he answered his mobile (cell phone), he spoke Czech. [Now, seeing any Czech, let alone a young man, reading a Bible on the metro is an unusual sight.] Then there was the group of Italian tourists; the man had his camcorder dangling from his neck. It was clear that they were Italian from what they said (loud enough for all to hear). Then a couple entered speaking English: "And then I was talking to Gary." "Which Gary?" "You know Gary." "I don't know Gary." Of course you do. . . . " Finally, there was the baby who looked a bit hungover as she looked back at us. At last we arrived at Dejvicka to catch the bus: "Konecna zastavka, prosime vstupte. Terminus, please leave the train." All in all, an unusual, but not completely atypical trip across Prague on the metro.
