Prague is associated with Jan Hus, the Bohemian Reformer of the 15th Century. We arrived in Prague late on Thursday afternoon. On Friday morning we toured the Hradcany complex, which is the official residence of the President of the Republic. It also includes the St. Vitus Cathedral. In the afternoon, Steve and I went to the Jewish quarter. This included the Jewish Cemetery and the Pinkas Synagogue, where the names of 77,297 Holocaust victims are written on the wall and artwork by Jewish children who were imprisoned at a concentration camp is displayed. We also went to Prague's Old Town Square, which includes the Hus Monument.
Tonight the group had dinner at a local restaurant and we walked back to the hotel by way of Wenceslas Square and the Old Town Square.
