What's not to love about Prague?

Our trip to Prague was a beautiful experience. Steve took this picture after waiting for the lighting become "perfect". It shows the Charles bridge in the front with the Prague Castle and St. Vitus church in the background. One of the benefits of living here is that we can get to places like Prague all across Europe quickly and cheaply. Come visit and we'll take you with us.

Above is a picture that I took of the cloisters right next to the hotel where we stayed. We could walk down to old town and the castle and the famous Charles bridge. The only problem was that it was straight up hill on the return. That didn't slow us down much. I think we both are in better shape physically than we were before moving to Europe.

The architecture of the city right down to the ornate doors on the buildings we found so beautiful. The church above right is found on the grounds of the famous Prague Castle.

This is an astonomical clock which was also on the old square. They were having a Christmas market on the square also with traditional foods and ornaments and crafts. They had a stage where there was music being performed by various groups throughout the day.

In this old church on the Stare Metske (old town square) we were able to attend a concert of classical music. They hold these concerts all over town at various times of the day and the musicians are all very accomplished. Our only problem with this particular concert was that the church was of course not heated and both Steve and I thought we would freeze before the hour-long concert concluded. The next day we looked for one that advertised that the chapel was heated to 20C. It was much more comfortable. We attended one more the day after that in a private palace. One of the defining characteritics of Prague is their love of music. Many composers traveled between Vienna and Prague, so there is a lot in common in these two cities.
