Prague!

For our independent travel period, Jenny, Rebecca and I went to visit Gabe in Prague! We had an amazing time, and here's a fraction of pictures from the week we spent in the Czech Republic.


Jenny demonstrates the effective balcony door. (Our hostel was awesome!)


Prague is cool, see?


I've always though the phrase "footloose and fancy free" was kind of silly, but that's what I think of when I see this picture of Jenny and Gabe.


I felt really creepy taking a picture in a public restroom, but this dispenser label was so funny I just had to share it with the world.


Approaching the TV Tower. The baby sculptures are by David Cerny, and were made permanent in 2001.


Here's a shot from the observation deck of the TV Tower.


The Kafka statue and a statue on Charles Bridge.


This is from the Old Jewish Cemetary. It doesn't even begin to convey how packed the cemetary is with tombstones. This is a less densely populated area right here, but there are thousands and thousands of stones in a relatively small space.

I recently visited the City of Prague. Prague is beautiful city with architecture going back to the middle ages. I was impressed by the Prague castle, the old town's powder gate tower and the famous astronomical clock. I had a chance to explore the Jewish quarter, also fascinating (the Spanish synagogue is not to be missed). St. Vitus's Cathedral rivals Notre Dame as a massive, buttressed church: it also houses the tomb of "Good King Wenceslas".
