Visitors are encouraged to walk across the metal faces, which makes loud echoing clinking noises in the giant, silent space. It was interesting to see how reluctant people were to do this. - IMG_4477.JPG

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

I want door knobs like this. - IMG_4504.JPG
