Prague

Ann and I are in lazy Eger, Hungary after busy stops in Paris -- for a 1/2 day layover -- Prague and Krakow. Here are a few pics from our 2.5 days in Prague.

The weather was nice in Prague, something we are no longer taking for granted as the skies have been bleak and the temps cool to cold ever since we left (wait 'til you see the Krakow photos).

Some highlights:

• Managing to find veggie or veggie-friendly places to eat. This can be tough in this part of the world.
• Stumbling on the Wallenstein garden, adjacent to the Czech senate building, which was not highlighted in our guidebooks. Ann spotted it on the long walk down from the castle (check out the drippy, gray wall slash art installation).
• The Mucha stained glass window in St. Vitus Cathedral.
• Our meal at Lehka Hlava ("clear head"), a funky place in the old town.

Prague was difficult to navigate, in a mostly-fun way. Even with the best map we could find we got turned around. But there was always a nearby trail of tourists you could follow back to a landmark. Prague is plagued with tourists -- I had more than one "I feel like I'm at Epcot" moment. But it was a really nice section of Epcot!
