Prague

Prague is our favorite city that we have visited so far. It is full of history and beautiful architecture. The atmosphere of the city was fun and interesting. The only difficulty we had was on the way home from Prague. We took a wrong turn and ended up on a dirt road in the middle of the Czech Republic. We were in the middle of a dark forest and kept seeing signs with an exclamation point that said "Pozor"on it. Of course, we had no idea what pozor meant and we were getting a little worried. Finally, after finding no place to turn around, we had to drive in reverse down the road to find a place to turn around. We finally found our way and made it home. Later, we found out that pozor means warning which was not very reassuring. Here are some pictures of beautiful Prague.
A museum in downtown.
Below is the castle from the Charles Bridge.
Just one of the many pituresque streets.









This is the cathedral inside the castle walls.



This is the largest castle in the world, according to Guiness World Records. The tallest part is just the cathedral, everything else around it is the castle.

This is the Medieval Castle.

I LOVE the pictures, I can't wait until Dave takes me there someday. We have a couple pictures of the Czech Republic up in our house (reminds Dave of his mission) and I enjoy looking at them as well. Charles Bridge is breath taking. I am glad that you had a great time in Europe.
