[Book 2] What If

Chapter 9

It was now their fifth day on Prague. All the scenes for their film have been pretty much taken. So the TOTGA crew are just left with time to all go sightseeing in this beautiful city they are in.

Their director had given them the freedom to do anything and to go anywhere they want for the whole day. Since the others have different itineraries, the crew split up to do their own things.

Lea and Ellie of course were both together as they visit some of the attractive tourist spots the city has to offer.

Ever since the first day they stepped in Czech Republic, majority of the decisions; may it be about the lodging or the places they would eat at, were done at Lea's behest. So, the Broadway star gave this day for Ellie to decide on the places they would be stopping by. The young woman felt relieved on this.

Just like others, it was her first time in this pristine city so she had made a list on some of the sites she would like to drop by.

Their first stop was the Strahov Monastery. Being a book enthusiast, El's itinerary consists of going over Prague's magnificent libraries and some of their iconic views.

The Strahov Monastery is the second oldest in the city and located on top of one of Prague's hills. It was first built in 1140 but had to be rebuilt numerous times after various walls. The Monastery itself is fairly ordinary, but the library within is simply astounding. It's divided into two halls that contain thousands of rare volumes of religious and philosophical texts.

Lea could see El's face in awe as she goes around staring at the literature displayed on the library's bookshelves.

The two also went to check out the Idiom Installation.

It is an infinite tower of books display.
This art was created by Matej Kren. It has been a long term art display made from hundreds of books that are stacked in a cylindrical tower. The trick where mirrors where carefully placed on it, gives the impression  for this tower to look infinite.

This sight sparked an interest in Ellie as this has been one of the most popular displays in Prague and was also even featured in the cover of Science magazine way back in 2011.
