Eastern European Adventure - Around Prague

This city was picture perfect and pristine. The architecture and cobblestone streets breathed an old world sophistication and style. Since it was untouched by World War II, its grandness remained. It would have been interesting to experience this city a few years back when it was not tainted as much by tourism, because now it is a bit comical how touristy it is - at least to us. We chose to look past all that to see the true beauty of the art and history around us. And to enjoy the many delicious foods and Czech beer!

In Old Town Square, Týn Church's spires are different sizes.

The Goltz-Kinský Palace, a beautiful building with a delicate Rococo façade.

The Charles Bridge.

Streetcars and cobblestone streets.

The astronomical clock in Old Town Square. It really is quite amazing with the relative positions of the sun, moon, zodiacal constellations.

Greetings from Prague!

Puppets are pretty famous in Prague.

Maps in Czech can cause some confusion.

The Powder Tower, where they stored gunpowder, was one of the old city gates and leads to Old Town Square.

We saw many train stations. Oh, the train stations.
