PRAGUE IN JANUARY 2010

The beginning of January we took a four day train trip to Prague. It is a beautiful city and we had a great time in spite of the cold and snow. We actually celebrated our 38th anniversary on January 1st in Prague. We stayed in the Marriott Courtyard which provided a fantastic breakfast. Breakfasts in Prague are much like Vienna's. There is a large variety of cheeses, meats (including smoked salmon) and yummy breads. We look forward to returning to Prague in the warmer months.

THE BUILDINGS ARE AMAZING!

The Dancing House or "Fred and Ginger", named for
the shape of the building's two towers,
which look vaguely like a couple ballroom dancing.

The Charles bridge at night. We walked across in the daytime-it was so cold,
but there were artists doing caricatures of people and others selling their wares.

This was taken looking down on the town from the castle area.

Astronomical clock that chimes every hour as figures
of the "12 apostles" parade by in the windows above the clock.Stained glass window in the cathedral at the Castle.

And yes, we ate at the new Prague Hard Rock Cafe.
It was a warm place to be in out of the cold!

The Funicular railway that went up the
mountain to the Petrin area.
It's actually going back down in this picture.
It was quiet and serene as we walked
the snowy trails back down into town.
