Prague

Ahoj Family, Lovers and Friends!  (Especially Uncle Jerry and Aunt Sally, you guys ROCK!!!)

Thanks for checking in again with my blog.....

I was in Prague last week for two and a half days and honestly it was like Disneyland.  I mean I've never been to Disneyland (THANKS Mom and Dad) but my friend Amanda made the comparison and between the cleanliness of the city, the beautiful church spires (that look like castles) everywhere, and the real castles that are everywhere, I think Disneyland is a pretty apt description.

Church in the Old Town Square at Night

Making friends with the horses (We didn't take a carriage ride)

I just don't think this place is real.  Charles Bridge at night

Charles Bridge again

They like alcohol in Prague...you can drink in the streets and absynthe is legal. (?!)  Also at the risk of scandalizing all of you, I tried absynthe.  Don't worry, I was with friends and all was fine.... and I didn't see fairies. It was not very exciting.

Josefov - the Jewish District

The Jewish Town Hall - click on it and check out the TWO CLOCKS.  One is in Hebrew and goes "counter"clockwise - UHmazing

Names of Czech Jews lost in the Holocaust

Jewish Cemetery

Samantha at the Spanish Synagogue

With Kafka (check the beetle on the ground)

The Astrological Clock in the Old Town Square.  Built in 1410, it still rings every hour. 

With Harry Potter I SWEAR ITS DISNEYLAND

Looking upriver at the Prague Castle (the gold building on the left)

Dancing Towers - sup Frank Gehry

Lennon Wall


FRANK!!!!

Happy Birthday Mom!  (Don't worry I sent this to her on her actual birthday)

Only one of us is the real guard at the Prague Castle.... Can you guess who?  

Changing of the guard.  I watched twice.  And took a zillion pictures.  (Check my ALBUM)

At the Vysehrad castle gardens

I am a five year old who must climb on everything
