Sara has been our first visitor from the states! We spent a day wandering around Munich, then went to Prague for a night. Unfortunately, someone else named "Sara B" beat her to branding their name onto the astronomical clock's observation bridge.
This is Sara and I on the Astronomical Clock's observation bridge. We had much better weather than when we were in Prague in the fall!
The picture below is of the Astronomical Clock, as well as the crowd of people waiting to get a glimpse of the show.
Sara and I after the long climb to the Prague Castle and surrounding areas. The rest of the city is below us in the background.
We took a guided tour of the city, which included St. George's Basilica. The picture below is of the length of the Church. Above is a painting etched into the side of the Cathedral. Each summer and winter crews coat the image in chemicals designed to protect against the upcoming season's harsh elements.
We pretty much ate our way though Prague. There were Easter markets set up with vendors selling delicious "Trudniks" (or as we called them, turtlenecks). These tasty treats were rolled around a metal stick, rubbed in sugar, and lightly roasted. They tasted sort of like half-baked sugar cookies, and I ate about 5. The best meal I had was beef golash in cream sauce with cranberries... mmm no wonder our tour guide claims that Czechs have the least healthy diet!
I leave you with a picture of a sweet treat- a crepe shaped like a rose, with a powdered sugar swan stenciled on for decoration. Don't visit us while on a diet!
