Prague-on-it, it's beautiful here!

Prague is yet another amazingly beautiful city.  Full of history and culture. The picture at left is the Tyn church in Old Prague Square.

In this city, on the first night there, Nicole had her favorite meal.  Now this I was not prepared for!!  Not that they wouldn't have wonderful food but I thought my heart belonged in Italy for the culinary experience.  I may have to rethink!

They had a skewed beef tenderloin with onions, dried plums wrapped in bacon, all covered in a blue cheese style dressing along with potatoes with onions & mushrooms folded in.  I have to say - my mouth is watering just thinking about the taste combination!! Yum!

In doing some research on Prague I discovered this picture. It is called the Dancing House, or Fred & Ginger.  It was built on land where buildings were destroyed during the bombing of Prague in 1945.  I love the craziness of this place. It really does look like a pair of dancers.
How fun would it be to live in one of those odd shaped places over looking the river??!! (Might be a little hard to decorate but...What the heck! Sunday was spent doing a lot of walking and they did a bus tour during the day. Sunday night the took another boat tour for a "cool" view of the city. (It was 57 degrees there yesterday)



Today (Monday) will be spent visiting Prague Castle. From the looks of the place I'd say it could take more than a day!   It is the largest coherent castle complex in the world. I have no idea how to convert from Metric so I can't tell you how big - but it's HUGE!! :)  There is a virtual tour site that is pretty informative and has some cool pictures!

Today is the last day in Prague.  A very early 4:00am wake up call for a 6:00am flight to Paris! Still pretty hard to feel sorry for them, even with the early flight..... :)
