A view of the city of Prague. We are looking down from Prague Castle and a monastery that is on the hill. The city was amazingly not destroyed during the World Wars and so most historic buildings remain intact. Last night we took a night tour of the city. It was absolutely beautiful. We walked across Charles Bridge, their famous pedestrian bridge. It is 650 years old and still holding up thousands of people each day! I love learning about the history of this country...all the way from Roman times, through the wars, through communism, and how the country is changing today.
Prague at night (in the main square of the Lesser Quarter). During the day, this square is packed with people! This night is was quiet. These horses are waiting to take people for carriage rides through the cobblestone streets.
The beautiful downtown square (daytime and nighttime views). Today in this square we had lunch--a traditional Czech meal of goulash, dumplings, and green beans.We were on our feet for almost 6 hours today! In addition to walking everywhere, Susannah and I got a good workout from laughing. We got the giggles at the hotel and couldn't stop. We were running up the stairs to our 8th floor room and oh my, we just about didn't make it. Grace, Susannah, and I have been having a lot of fun together. They are great travel partners.

I thought Calgary and Vancouver were the most visited cities. What about "the greatest outdoor show on earth" yahoo or maybe better put boohoo. Czechoslovakia; was their a church split or something?!
Vonne you are making me jealous!!! I so want to go back to Europe and do more travelling!! Enjoy your trip and take in as much as you can. One thing Adrienne and I discovered was that we way overbudgeted for food (we did the picnic thing too) and we found out at the end that we could have done some more touristy things that we really wanted to do, so manage wisely but don't go too cheap!! Have fun!!
