Prague Blog

We just got back from an amazing trip to Prague!  Serge visited the Czech capital during his semester abroad and has always said it was one of his favorite places in Europe.  I now understand why, and I definitely share his sentiments!  It is such a neat city!  The weather was perfect, the food was awesome, the sights were beautiful; we loved it all!

der Frankfurter Hauptbahnhof - we meet again!

World traveler, coming through!

I love the subway escalators in Prague - they go super fast!

 Serge said they remind him of Space Mountain. We're easily entertained :-)

First glimpse of the Charles Bridge

Checking out the local artists on the bridge

Summer Festival in the Old Town Square

Fixing myself a drink at Bar and Books

Outside Bar and Books

Church of our Lady before Týn looks like Cinderella's castle at night!

Walking around town

Vltava River

Lunch at Botel Matylda

Stealing a swig of Serge's Stella. It was the perfect day for a cold beer!

It's a boat. It's a hotel. It's a botel!

Wardrobe change! Usually when we're walking around a European city I'm freezing, so we have to buy me a warmer sweater, scarf, hat, gloves, or boots. This was the first time that I've had to buy a new shirt because I was too hot! I like it much better this way!

Waiting for the Astronomical Clock to strike 4, so we could see the little hourly show!

Church of Our Lady before Týn

Papas! In honor of my Papa :-)

Espresso with dark chocolate at Choco Café - This was soo good!!

Awesome Spanish dinner at La Boca

Running up the hill to see the changing of the guards at the Castle!

We made it!

My view from Serge's back :-)

In need of a new guard? I think I look the part.

Serge looks tiny next to that giant Czech flag!

St. Vitus Cathedral

Back of the Cathedral

And inside. Wwwooowww! :-)

Taking in the view from the Old Royal Palace

Cute little house on the Golden Lane

Hanging out with the guards outside the Castle

Taking a much appreciated lunch break at a café near the Charles Bridge

My favorite part of this photo is the guy posing in the background.

Back at the Astronomical Clock

Hot chocolate sundae at Café Imperial! 

I'm pretty much an ice cream connoisseur, and this sundae was one of the best I've ever had!

Headed back to the clock tower

View of the castle from the tower

And view of the Church of Our Lady before Týn

Trumpeter practicing before his big performance on the hour

Walking back down the tower... or back to the future??

Posing on the bridge

Sergio's turn

With the balloon and the river

And again with the castle

Charles Bridge in the background

One more picture with the Castle! I really didn't want to leave!

Sooo I just decided to move there and open my own KQ Minimarket

Momma, we saw an MQ Minimarket too - Wanna join me? :-)
