Mike and I had a great time in Prague with out the kids. We only had the weekend there but we jammed as much as we could in those two days. It was a beautiful and romantic city. Prague is one of the European cities that didn't receive a lot of damage in world war two, so most of the buildings are very old. We did so much walking by the end of the second day my calfs were so sore. We stayed up above the Prague castle and walked all the way down to Old Town, then back up all of the stairs and hills. We did all this twice. It was such a beautiful walk so really enjoyed it.

These next seven pictures are of the St. Vitus Cathrdral located inside of the walls of the Prague Castle.

The Basilica of Saint George (founded in 915)
 |
| The Charles Bridge was built in 1357 by Charles IV. It connects to the Old Town of Prague. |
 |
| This is the oldest statue on the bridge, St. John Nepomuk. If you touch it you are suppose to have good luck. |

Astronomical Clock
It was built in 1410. I couldn't believe the detail on the clock to think it has been running for hundreds of years. Some of the things on the clock were added years later. |
