... heaps of stories which may or may not be true about the history of Prague (if anyone knows whether the sea lion at the Prague zoo is dead or alive please let us know). We saw the astrological clock - which blew our minds by the way, the Jewish quarter (which used to be a swamp), old town, new town, the Charles Bridge (held together with eggs did you know?!), a rude American (he interrupted our tour with his southern drawl to ask the guide what the ...

... us entrance to several synagogues/museums and the old Jewish Cemetery. At the first site, which had been converted into a holocaust memorial to the 80,000 victims from Prague, Rich and Jake had to wear yarmalkes (sp?) out of reverence to the location. The old synagogue had all of these names written out on several different walls and levels. It is hard to explain the feeling seeing the names of real people and families whose ...

... so I just enjoyed strolling along, looking at all the little markets. We all met up again in the afternoon and went for our Ghost Tour (more like a historical tour) where we learned all about the spirits that remain trapped in their own misery for all eternity. Many beautiful maidens have caused the violence in Prague, according to our Dorian Grey lookalike tour guide!! On Saturday, we had a late start while we waited for our friend to get ready - she was leaving a ...

... Giovanni in 1787. The theater itself is gorgeous (see pictures below) and the opera was fabulous. It was wonderful seeing this performance at the theater where it actually debuted over 200 years ago! It was drizzling off and on on Thursday. We had a later start than usual and headed directly to Restaurant U Cizku for lunch. The restaurant was slightly out of the city center near Charles Square. It serves typical Czech cuisine and was pretty good. In my opinion, most ...

... part).

... had a few close calls. We set up, had some lunch and prepared to hit Prague tomorrow, got the maps, got the tickets and are heading out early doors. Currently we are sitting in the bar watching Ice Hockey, it appears you don't need to know the language as it is just as incomprehensible in Czech as English. JENN - this morning I was on the hunt for gorilla's after Rob crow barred me out of bed, the mist was impenetrable and the tiles in the showers was like ice. Even the ...

... such violence, the paint was transferred from their face to the set. Result: Puppets fit to give the children nightmares. After the puppet show we stopped at a restaurant where we had our own private jazz performance. How romantic! We then made our back to camp, mingled for a bit before hitting the hay around 10. Yep, me and Brit...always the life of the party.

... a glass of every variety they made. I think Brian and Cissy were surprised by the feeling they got from only half of a glass, and they began laughing incessantly. We joked about the inefficiency of Czech currency denominations, we listened to a talented guitar player sing Eric Clapton songs with an accent, and we took random photos of absinthe paraphernalia after deciding to have "just one more glass." The next day, Brian and Cissy left, and Alli and I were pretty bummed. We'd had so ...

... king there, outfitted in a fur stole and mantle, surrounded by retainers, sitting down to a mighty feast replete with large hunks of meat, metal pitchers of mead, crackling fires in the fireplaces, and ferocious hounds gnawing on discarded bones. Famished from so much envisioning, we trekked down to the town square to see what kind of feast we could rustle up for ourselves. It turns out we could rustle up precious little for the precious little we could put forth monetarily. We ...

Hello everyone! hope that you are all good. I am actually in London at the moment but finally have some uninterrupted time on an internet computer. Well, where was i .... just arrived in prague - feeling very tired... had a sleep, then went and picked Stephen up at the airport. Managed to negotiate my way through the metro and bus lines sufficiently well to get to the airport about 2 hours early, so then had to sit and wait for stephen to arrive!!! It was really good to see him ...
