Just another day in Praha

We woke up to a little rain this morning. I got out looking for an English newspaper for Woody but was unsuccessful. By the time I got back, the rain had stopped. We spent the day out "sploring" and had a very nice day. Old Town square was quite interesting - lots of people waiting for the astronomical clock to strike the hour.

Left there and went down to the Jewish town. Emma has been studying the Holocaust this past year so she was eager to learn more about the people who were sent to the concentration camps.
One of the Jewish temples contained all the names, birth dates and last known date that they were seen before going to the concentration camps. We will visit Dachau next week to complete this lesson in history. The cemetery held graves dating back to the 1600s.

Did a little shopping on the way to the New Jewish Temple, which was completed in 1905. It was quite beautiful.

The rain began again around 4. Gina, I am certainly glad your Totes travel umbrella has a lifetime warranty because it would open but not stay up. I spent the rest of the afternoon with my arm in the air holding it open. Oh, well, I stayed pretty dry.

We've made it to Bar-Bar restaurant tonight - a recommended place. There was an hour wait time so we opted to dine in the bar area. Hope we don't catch cancer. These Europeans sure do smoke a lot.

Will leave in the morning heading to Rome. Catch us there later tomorrow night.

Astromomical Clock

Cobblestone Streets make for hard walking in the rain



Gravestones in the Jewish Cemetery

Another statue on the Charles Bridge

Czech spaghetti - cannot wait to get to Rome!!!

Pancakes with chicken - very good

Trout - also tasty

But Emma could not get past the eye!!
