Prague

Prague was our next major city to visit and it was a gorgeous one! It is a very old city and untouched by bombings during WWII. We visited Prague Castle. In it is St.Vitus Cathedral, which is a beautiful old church that took 600 years to complete! It was started in 925! I loved the stained glass by Alphonse Mucha! We saw the Astronomical Clock in the Old Town Square, which tells everything but the time. It is absolutely worth goggling to learn how it works! We took a luncheon cruise on the Charles River, saw all the artisans on the Charles Bridge and a Folk Dance Festival in the Old Town Square. The Pinkas Synagogue was closed because it was Saturday. I was disappointed because several friends had told me it was a "must see". Oh well. Prague is a city to spend more time in if you have it!!!!
