Wednesday Vacation Blogging: Prague

Time once again to post some pictures from the European vacation. This week I'm revisiting the most beautiful city I've ever seen: Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic. As always, click on the picture for a larger version

Prague Castle, St. Vitus Cathedral and the Vltava River.

The north entrance to Old Town Square, with the Clock Tower on the left and the Church of Our Lady before Tyn straight ahead.

The Charles Bridge.

Just one of the many fascinating buildings in Old Town Square.

Detail of ironwork at St. Vitus Cathedral.

The Fred & Ginger Building.

Sleeping Beauty's Castle The Church of Our Lady before Tyn at sunset.

The Church of Our Lady before Tyn from another angle.

When I go on vacation, I take pictures of buildings. Lots and lots of buildings.

Absinthe is legal in the Czech Republic. I ended up wishing that it wasn't.

Maybe it's because this is where I started drinking the Absinthe. This is an actual human skeleton greeting bar and restaurant patrons as they enter this establishment.

Public art is huge in Prague.

Museums are also quite popular and plentiful.

Outside, one corner of St. Vitus Cathedral.

Inside St. Vitus.

The Tomb of the Unknown Saint, or something very much like it.

Due to zoning restrictions, the Hokey-Pokey is not allowed within Prague city limits.

Shops full of Russian and former Soviet goods, like these nesting dolls, are very popular.
