Czech'n out Prague
Dobry Den Readers! The past four days have been spent in the UNESCO world heritage city of Prague. We again find ourselves behind the old iron curtain where things are magically much more affordable, which makes Czech'n out the sites so much easier (I'm corny but you know you love it)! Our first day here was spent as a resting productive day. Now, I know that may sound contradictory to you, but allow me to explain. We didn't do any sightseeing, but we did do ...

A perfect spot for a picnic. Couldnt find an open space that had a view of the river and Prague castle so we ...
