Prague Day One (Tuesday)






















Prague!! After an uneventful flight (with a empty seat next to me - one of God's greatest gifts), we arrived safely in Prague. Our room wasn't ready, so we walked over the Charles Bridge, which is the only thing so far that is ringing a bell so far from my visit here in college.
It's chilly chilly, but the city is GORGEOUS and very clean. The Wallenstein Gardens and Palace, which were built to mirror Italian royal gardens, are nearby and were beautiful. A couple of grouchy peacocks weren't nearly as happy to see us as we were to see them. Photo attached.
Also, as you can see from the photos, the modern art is quite interesting. The little creatures are sitting inside a scene built inside an old TV set and were part of the decor at dinner last night. The giant baby .... I'm not quite sure what to say about that. We just passed them on our way to the gardens.
Dinner .... yummy and cozy in a little cellar pub. It's true what they say about the beer here. It's like the beef in Argentine - it's just better.
It's rainy and cold today - we may settle in with a book for a while before heading out. Castle, Jewish Cemetary, and Kafka museum are on the books.
Everyone speaks English, but for some reason I keep responding in Spanish.
XOXO!
