Prague-ness

Hi!
Today is our last night in Prague and we just got back from buying our train tickets. We head to Bratislava just before midday tomorrow and should be there by late afternoon. Prague has been great! Our first day we mostly wandered around the district we are staying in called Zizkov, which is pretty laid back. The next day, Saturday we headed to "Old Town" and saw some of the more famous sights like the Astronomical Clock and the Jewish Ghetto where there's this insane graveyard that is crowded beyond belief! It looks like something out of a Tim Burton film. It was a really nice day until we got fined on the metro :( our bad for not having tickets. That's just how the cookie crumbles. Sunday we visited a contemporary art museum that was...interesting, very interesting. We also got tickets for a classical music concert at the Rudolphium which is a gorgeous building and the show itself was pretty epic. Today we got up and out to see the Charles Bridge and Prague Castle two of the major tourist spots. (Liz, I took a photo in front of your saintly likeness). The weather has been really really warm which is a very nice change from Oregon but drains my energy. Between that and all the walking we've done I will sleep really well tonight!
Love,
Cara

Happy to hear you have enjoyed Prague, sorry to hear about your misfortune on the metro....Dad says to soak up as much of that warmth as possible so you can dream about it next winter....the good fairy didn't want to think about your metro experience cutting into your budget and took care of it with WFB....share it with Kota...lovr keeping up to date with you.
