Our ride picked us up in a very nice BMW (Honey, I want one). We arrived at the tour meeting place a little early so did a little shopping - shoe shopping. The boots are to die for - if you are a woman in Europe I swear you live in these. I didn't buy....but we're not gone yet! When we walked out of the store Quasimoto walks up to us and says "do you speak English?" I kind of ignore him and keep walking but then he's trying to usher us into a car! Then ther...

We woke up today to rain. Cold rain. Not to be deterred, however, we set up to see the monument to the victims of Communism. We walked along the street heading south out of Mala Strana, then walked along the path at the base of Petrin Hill. The monument in the rain offers a somber reflection of the strict domination the people of this wonderful country experienced.

Up bright and early again, I DO help myself to the cappucino machine! Today we head back out to Josefov to finish our visit there. On the way back over the bridge, we stop at St. Mikalaus cathedral.

Apparently, the Czech's don't get up and get moving on the weekdays until, oh, about 9:00! So, nothing for it but to run. I ran down our cobblestone street, past the e...

Dobry den! This mornig I woke up early and tried to sniff out some coffee. We don't have a coffee maker in the room. There is a kitchen below our room though with an enticing cappicuno machine.... I didn't want to take advantage, so showered and got dressed to go out for a light breakfast. Alex was still asleep and didn't want to disturb him. While coming downstairs, I ran into the attendant and she made me a cup of lovely cappucino - even though breakfast i...
