Prague

The Central College program took my group to Prague on April 18-20. It rained until about two hours before we had to leave, but it was it was nice to see the city nonetheless.

This is the oldest gate to the Old Town.

The Fruit Market

Don Giovanni was first performed in this theater.

A Glockenspiel! The skeleton rings a bell, the saints rotate a bit, and then we know it's time for lunch.

The first Czech filmhouse

The first Czech Coffeehouse

This guy used to be the tallest man in the country; and was only about 5'2" tall.

Charles' Bridge

Supposedly, it's good luck to rub the statue of this martyr, who was killed because he wouldn't share the king's wife's confessions.

A wall, which mostly seems dedicated to John Lennon, where the Czech people have held most of their demonstrations and protests. It was repainted several years ago, but the citizens reclaimed it.

Mozart's Requiem was first played in this Baroque church.

I guess invalid stamps have been an issue...perhaps.
