Czech Republic - Prague pics

After leaving Jihlava, we went and stayed in Prague. Prague is a gorgeous city of about 1 million people, and is actually a sister city of Bamberg (had to mention that :-)). It is amazing to think that this gem was behind the iron curtain up until the curtain fell in 1989. Now it is completely filled with tourists from all over the world. Pretty neat! We had a great time walking around. We met up with some other friends there too for lunch one day. It is a very inexpensive city still compared to many other cities. It was a really nice week!

There is character in Prague everywhere you turn!

Our fancy dancy room :-) Lots of old in this city.

We were there for Halloween, but in Europe they are just kind of starting to celebrate Halloween. In a city with millions of tourists, we saw only 5 people dressed in costume (and we saw about 6 jack-o-lanterns too!)

The Charles Bridge kind of brings the city together - so much to see!

This was adorable... It was a back alley with a walkway to a restaurant on the river. In order to get there (because it was so narrow), they had a traffic light for pedestrians.  

So pretty all lit up at night!

Over looking the city...

The Cathedral at the top of the hill

So pretty!

Had to laugh at this one...Often in cities, there is a special statue that you rub for good luck..... Oh my!!!
