Prague

November 3-6

dara / Jim & I arrived in Prague on Wednesday afternoon. We found this one-bedroom apartment near Old Town. The location is fabulous, and it is only a couple of blocks from Old Town and the Charles Bridge. It is central to alot of the main sites in Prague.

On Thursday, Jim & I purchased fresh veggies from the local market and bought some juice, ham and eggs from the local grocery store. We were able to actually cook a meal for a change. What a treat! Honestly though, it gets old eating out day after day (especially if you happen to pick a bad meal on the menu).

We also decided on seeing Prague on a four-hour walk through town. The tour was a good overview of the city! We saw the Old Town Hall with a Gothic astronomical clock from 1410. We also toured around New Town, the Jewish Quarter, the Charles Bridge and the Prague Castle. The Charles Bridge is one of my favorite sites, and from the tower, it is a great central location for fabulous views of the castle and Old Town.

Quite honestly though, it has been a relaxing visit. We have been hanging out, wandering around town, sitting in a cafe and enjoying the sites.

Hi Jim and Dara,

It is 12/23, and Capitol Hill is like a grave yard. A perfect time to finally read your travel blog. What an amazing trip for you both. Soak it all up. You will be returning to a very RED America next spring, and it don't cater much to feriners.. Dara, Marquette is 10 and 1 (close loss to Arizona). I am headed up there during the Xmas visit home. Shannon is nine months old and crawling and standing and has teeth coming in. The new house is coming along. I finally finished that dining room, Jim would be proud. I will try to get to this blog more often. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you both.
