Today was. An awesome day,
especially considering how it started.
We woke up this morning., feeling a little disappointed in our
accommodations we are staying in a hostel in the center of Prague The location is great but we are all sharing
a room with none of the amenities like toilets ensuite. It was also raining this morning and even
till we were on our way to the tour people were carrying open umbrellas. We met
our tour guide Filip in the square near the astronomical clock. There he explained the workings of this six
hundred year old device. It seemed that every corner we turned there was an
amazing bit of architecture from gothic to baroque to arte newveau. Unfortunately many of the building are in
need of cleaning because there is so much soot on them. We also visited many of
the city’s churches and squares and learned a bit of history about the city and
czek republic. The famous Charles bridge
was amazing with the medieval gates on either side and religious statues all
along the bridge on both sides The art and music are alive in this town.
Marionettes abound and Mozart’s don Giovanni is performed here in the national
theatre. We finished the day with a
visit to hard rock café. Strangely
enough we met a Lansing couple in the booth next to us and one of the managers
was from Philadelphia.
