Prague, the 25th of Dec.

the memorial to the deceased leader
of the Velvet Revolution.  My mom told
me a little about what he did
when Czech was being attacked
by the Russians; it was pretty
interesting!

a closer and sideways look.

this is looking to the right at
the xmas market from our table.
See the little tables set up so
you could stand and enjoy the
delicious food?

this was looking to the left.  I
had what I thought looked like a
brat and Jez and Rachel shared
some potato, bean, pasta
type dish. 

again at the outside xmas
market with a view of the
center.

this is the astronomical clock.
every hour these people come out
from the top and wave flags and
stuff.  it of course chimes too!

everything was sold at the market
or at least lots of different foods and
hot mulled wine, a favorite.

waiting for the clock!

there are revolving small statues
in these windows that revolve
every hour.  The actual face of
the clock is underneath.

I thought all the umbrellas were
funny to see.  It had started to
drizzle a bit while we were
waiting for the clock.

You can barely see the people
leaning over the balcony but they
are there!

Jez and I in Starbucks.  Starbucks was a
highlight for Jez and Rachel.  The hat
is from Prague.

The Czech Repub. is known for
their beer and of course
what would a trip to Prague
be without sampling the
specialty of the country?  This
restaurant/beer club/whatever
had beer from all over the world,
including Bulgaria and the
US.  It was pretty cool seeing all
the different beer bottles displayed!
