Last post full of pics for the Czech Trip. And I like going out with bang. After Mr. Y dropped us off in Prague we did a little sightseeing.
|
On the road to Prague |
|
This is the place we had both lunch and dinner
at, it was within walking distance of our hotel. |
|
A closer look at the side of the building. |
|
At lunch; From the left; Mr. J, Mrs. J, Mrs. L, Mr. L and Leefish. |
|
I'm in the center. |
|
This was lunch, it was a very traditional Czech meal, very
heavy goulash and dumplings. It definitely wasn't my favorite
meal on the trip. |
|
A lot of these pictures are just random old
buildings and churches scattered throughout
the streets of Prague.
|
|
This was a market we walked through. |
|
This was a pretty big square, the focal point of which was the
Astronomical Clock. |
|
This is the Astronomical Clock (on the left). It is extremely old
and tells the time, day, month, season and tons of other stuff. |
There was a jazz band playing across the plaza. I like
Prague.
|
This is the Rudolfinum. It is a premier concert hall in Prague. |
|
This is the Vltava river, and I believe that is the famous Charles Bridge, which we used to cross back in the evening. |
|
This is our first look at the St. Vitus Cathedral. |
|
A couple over looks of Prague.
|
|
Mrs. L pointing out the sights. |
|
The back of the St. Vitus Cathedral. The
St. Vitus Cathedral is the largest and most
important cathedral in the Czech Republic.
But it is locked up. |
|
The Cathedral is mostly in the Gothic style of
Architecture, but there are portions of it that contain
Baroque and Renaissance elements as well. |
|
This picture shows two main things; the first is the detailed
mosaics that tell the story of the history of Christianity. The
second is the bars across the doors. The church is closed. It is
only a symbol of the Czech's past, it doesn't have anything to
do with its present or future. |
|
The Front of the Cathedral. |
|
The Prague nightline. |
|
The next few pictures are all on the famous Charles Bridge. |
|
A look back across the river. |
|
Mrs. L got to meet up with one of her friends from her last trip
to the Czech Republic, we had dinner with him and learned quite
a bit about Czech culture. |
|
My dinner; a very nontraditional Czech meal |
|
Crepes and blueberries for dessert. |
That is all my pictures! (well, all the good ones anyway ;) ). I should have one more post to tell you guys about our trip home and what I learned from the trip.
All the best,
The Tall One
