We're actually already in Prague but we have catching up to do on the blog because we didn't have good Internet connections or time to write things. Coming up should be posts for: Rome, Pompeii, Amalfi Coast, more Barcelona, Olot Spain and the Salvador Dali theater museum in Catalonia. Today we were in the center of Prague to go to McDonald's and the Big Ben English bookstore so we snapped a few pictures. Above is the Lesser Quarter tower for Charles Bridge. The dome in the background is the church of Saint Nicholas. Below is my burger from McDonald's. Every Summer they have a few items on the menu that are theme items. This year the theme is Italian. This is a Grande Italian Burger. It was REAL good. They could get my business back in the US if they served this there.
We walked through Old Town Square. During our walk in the city we saw three different wedding couples in the most crowded areas. One couple had a stretch limo pull through a huge crowd that was waiting to see the famous astronomical clock on the Old Town Hall do it's little show. I commented that they were probably going to the Town Hall to be married but it seemed that they were there just for the clock. After the clock struck a trumpet player on the tower played for the wedding couple. Below is Old Town Square where they were setting up a stage for a show of some kind. The church is called the Tyn Church and is very whimsical but the most interesting thing is that buildings are built right in front of it.
It seems like something that only happens in Prague. We came upon an outdoor public exhibit of large colored aerial photos mounted to an iron fence. They were very cool, but then a full orchestra came walking past carrying their instruments.
