Bryan takes advantage of having the train compartment to ourselves for the last leg into Prague. - IMG_4489.JPG
We liked our hostel (the Czech Inn--har), but it's fair to say the room was overrated. - IMG_4490.JPG
We start Saturday with a 4-hour free walking tour, guiding by the man with the white umbrella. - IMG_4491.JPG
We happen to encounter a folk festival going on in Old Town Square. - IMG_4492.JPG
A super-famous clock with extremely disappointing animation on the hour. - IMG_4496.JPG
More folk festival. I'm sad I failed to capture any of the beer stein waving. - IMG_4498.JPG
old buildings in various styles - IMG_4500.JPG
church-front, Jesus getting it again - IMG_4501.JPG
I want door knobs like this. - IMG_4504.JPG

McDonalds in some fancy former palace digs. - IMG_4512.JPG
Wenceslas Square (who knew the good king of the Chrismas carol actually existed? not I. But I don't think his brother stabs him to death in the song.) - IMG_4513.JPG
Mozart wrote Don Giovanni in Prague. The city is just a little proud of this. - IMG_4515.JPG
That's right, we're still on the walking tour. - IMG_4517.JPG
You might be able to guess that Bryan is driving the camera at this point. - IMG_4518.JPG
a statue of "the ghost" - IMG_4520.JPG
approaching that tourist thoroughfare, the Charles Bridge - IMG_4523.JPG
another, less ridiculously packed bridge - IMG_4524.JPG
If I were a pickpocket, this is where I would work. - IMG_4525.JPG

Bryan tries to get something out of his eye. - IMG_4529.JPG
one of our worst arm-out shots ever - IMG_4530.JPG
