Praha (Prague)

Here are some pictures from our trip to Prague.
On the 9 hour train ride to Prague, we had sandwiches with ?toothpaste? - rather mayo.














We ate at the Infinity Restaurant and Music Bar for Mediterranean food, after we checked into our hotel.














Some Easter decorations in the Old Town Square. They had Easter Market while we were visiting - so lots of shops to visit in the streets.



















Inside the Church of St. Nicholas in the Old Town Square.



















The Astronomical Clock



















The apostles blessing the city on the hour.













On to Prague Castle.
















We walked up the steps to the castle. What an amazing view of the city.














St. Vitus Cathedral



















Guards at the entrance to the Prague Castle






































We ate at the Lobkowicz Palace Cafe for lunch.
Something that we saw alot of in Prague was handpainted decorative eggs. You could buy them anywhere.

































Walking down the steps from the castle.



















Next we went to the Charles Bridge. First we took some pictures, then walked over the bridge.














More shops - a Marionette shop.



















and a stacking doll shop














The exchange rate while we were in Europe














We ate at Hard Rock Cafe Prague for supper.



















Trent, Megan, Katie (friends from Camp Adventure) and boyfriend had supper with us.














The next day (Easter Sunday) we ate at an outdoor cafe, and got on the train to go back to Wiesbaden (9 hours). It was a long train ride, and we got a little goofy at the end!
This picture shows alot of what we did on the trains - read (Tessa had to read Grapes of Wrath for homework - Dana and I read Karen Kingsbury's new books), and chocolate! Luckily we had plenty of that!

We visited Prague in November. Were there for a short mission trip. Looks like you were there when the sun was shining. Many of the photos reminded me of our visit there too. We thought it was/is a very beautiful city. The architecture is so intersting!!!
