Prague, Czech Republic, Sept 14 - Sept 18, 2009 

Everyone who has been to Prague raves about it, so part of me wondered if it could live up to the hype. It sure did! It's a beautiful city with so much to see...sometimes, especially at night, I have to admit, it reminded me of Disneyland because it had this out of this world feel about it. During my taxi ride to the airport I also got to see the non touristy areas of the city, and those areas also looked beautiful!

Monday, Sept 14, I got to Prague. What an arrival I had. My hotel (in this picture)didn't pick me up at the train station, I had no Czech money, but a taxi driver agreed to take Euros, but I didn't have as much as I needed and then the cab driver watched a DVD as he was driving through the city...I figured this promised to be an exciting stay in Prague! :)

The details on some of the houses are amazing! Trivia information, the first Czech Bible was printed in this house in 1488.

The famous Astronomical clock that everyone stands in front of at the top of the hour to see the 12 apostles come out, somehow I was never there at the right time to see it. Oh, well..I guess that means I need to return one day.
