Carol and I are now sure that Prague is another most see City when you travel to Europe. I think that Walt Disney must have designed the City, it is enchanting. The Czechs have been able to maintain the traditional European elegance and add the modern comfort.
We think that every couple should stroll along the Charles Bridge at night. We went across about 9 oclock at night. There were many others with the same idea. You have this wonderful feeling going over the bridge with the water, the lights and the city lit up in the background.
We recommend the food but are now afraid that even though we have probably walked 10 miles in Prague, with the pork, potatoes, bread, pudding, gravey that we have eaten we are still gaining weight. We have now resolved to order one dish of food and only eat half.
I had to stop Carol from from shopping at every store. There was something she wanted at every store. Of course when I pointed out that the cystal cost 5,000 ck per glass she was more restrained.
We went to the Ceske Filharmonie and watched a performance of Beethoven. It was marvelous, the Conducter was a woman named Marin Alsop. They also had a pianist named Rustem Hayroudinoff. It was a lovely evening.
I have included a picture of Carol's Mercedes, not quiet the Mercedes that you dream about, but okay.
