Prague

Jana and I decided to take a weekend trip to Prague, Czech Republic!

We took an overnight bus (thanks Dia) and arrived early on Saturday morning. We had time to get coffee then walk and see the beautiful city. It was fairly quiet and as the day continued we realized people just weren't awake to go the the touristy sights at 8am. ha! 

We walked around the Old Town Square and thanks to Rick Steve's we knew what the statues were and what they meant as we looked at them. 

Here are a few pictures of the weekend.

Old Town Square

It was first constructed in 1410, quite impressive for all that it displays. Click Here for history of the clock.

27 crosses to commemorate the 27 rebel
leaders that were executed after the Battle of White Mountain

Infamous locks on the bridge

I liked the clouds.

GF Apple Strudel. I must say it was quite tasty. 

let's just say I took quite a few pictures of doors...

We came back on a bus and arrived in Budapest on Sunday evening. Then off to work on Monday morning. 

Overall, the city was beautiful and such a nice place to visit. We noticed there were a lot more tourists with their huge cameras. It was funny to me how much I remembered from being there on mission trip during high school. I remembered the bridge and the artists that did their work in front of you, and a place that we stopped to get gelato.
