It has been one of my life goals to visit Prague. I have heard it is the most beautiful city and Europe and the hype was true. I am in love with the architecture, red roofs, cobble stone streets, cheese sandwiches, a pastry called Trdelink, and the cynical but commical people.
Prague is the capital city of the Czech Republic and the historical capital of Bohemia.
Statue of St. Wenceslaus. He is the patron saint of
Prague. He was a prince who was killed by his brother.
Many years later the brother felt bad about killing
him so he made him a saint.
During the 1800s a carol was written about him.
St. Wenceslaus Square is the longest square
in Prague
Astronomical Clock
The clock was built in 1410 and is still operating
Old Jewish cemetery opened in 1439 and closed in
1787
Maisel Synagogue. During the early 1500s Prague
had the most Jews of any city in Europe. In 1542 and
1561 they were expelled from Prague but returned and
flourished from 1562-1612.

Trdelink. Dough is wrapped around sticks, then
it is baked over a flame. We had some served with fruit
and others that were covered with cinnamon and
sugar.
