PRAGUE...

As a birthday present for Mama, we took her to Praha. Mum nor Mezzy have ever been there, so it was my absolute pleasure to take them to one of the most beautiful, most romantic, most gothic cities on the good earth. As any of you who have been there know, Prague is probably the most photographed cities in Europe. So I'm not going to bore you all with my impressions. Heres but a few of the 800 snaps we rattled off...

Looking across the Vltava to the Castle District on a murky afternoon.

Mum n' Mez on a chilly night outside the National Museum.

Some jazz musicians, busking on the charles bridge.

Autumn is a wonderful time to visit Prague. This staircase winds it's way up through the castle district to St.Vitus Cathedral, which is probably the most impressive cathedral I've ever stepped foot in. It's a gothic masterpiece thats been around some 650 years.

Another highlight wandering around Prague is the Art Nouveau District. If your into architecture of this type, Prague is a little gem.

Even the Commies got into their Nouveau stuff. Albeit with a little less frills.

This mosaic is above the entrance to Municipal House. Pragues grandest and most important piece of Nouveau. It took 7 years to build, and was completed in 1912.

Bears, Mez & The Green Fairie. =)

Charles Bridge at dawn, before the all the terroristas arrive.

We had a wonderful trip, brilliant to have you there with us Ma. Lets do it again sometime, except next time bring Rich. He would have loved it there too. As for anyone else traipsing around europe, don't miss this place. It isn't what it used to be (for many reasons), but it's still one of the most awe-inspiring cities you'll ever visit. Anytime of the year.
