Day 2: More Prague

Fun day! Told you all we would get more pictures up.

We started the day on another tour of the city. We walked across the
Czech bridge, checked out the Jewish ghetto, saw St. Midus
cathedral, watched the changing of the guard at the presidential
palace, and finally watched the astronomical clock strike noon.

We had the rest of the day to ourselves, which was great. Tiff and I
shopped in the Easter market that is going on for the next two weeks.
They sell these hollow painted eggs on strings that were pretty cool.
I ate this twisty cinnamon bread that was good. We watched some Czech
kids singing songs on a stage in the middle of the square. We did some
shopping, bought some orginal paintings and looked at some bohemian
garnets but didn't buy any cause I thought it was sketch that they
could not certify them.

As you can see from the pic we ate some spaghetti for lunch like yncle
ray used to then mcdonalds for dinner. We walked to the national
museum but it was closed. But it looks down at vaclavske square which
is like a long boulevard that the soviets use to parade down during
the cold war. Now capitalism rules with stores and restaurants
everywhere.

We rode the subway back to the hotel. It was a really deep subway,
probably 60 feet below ground. Our feet hurt after walking on
cobblestones all day so we are just watching Czech tv. Tomorrow we
drive to Budapest, which is a 7 hour drive. Looking forward to a new
place though.
