Prague

This place is awesome.  We arrived here yesterday around12pm Prague time, which would make it approimately a 5am Louisiana Time.  The Jet Lag almost sidelined us a couple of times, but we pushed through.  We visited the Market Square, Astronmical Tower, a bridge we thought was Charles Bridge, until we realized Charles Bridge wouldn't be made of iron and fastened with rivets.  We walked across the river and hung out a Letna Park for a bit and watched the City and the Skate boarders.  As we were trying to get back to the other side, closer to our hotel, we "got lost" strolling through the one time gardens and now parks of Prague Castle.

Today we are going to explore Prague Castle in More detail.  Some of it dates back to the 9th Century.  It was kinda crazy last night as we were walking back to our hotel after dinner.  Dinner, which was down a schetchy alley right off a main road where this old Czech lady lead us saying in very broken English how good it was...it was ok.  But, walking back thinking "Man, I am strolling the streets of Prague at night." Pretty amazing. We found this neat basment bar a block from our hotel.  and I was able to use all of my Czech, "Beer Please, Thank you."

Here are some pics from yesterday:
