St. Peter and Paul right by where we were staying
Wow...Prague is an amazing magical city. So much of old mixed with new. We started off at St. Nicholas's church and hiked up to the bell tower. It was a magnificent view of the city and the flowing trees and rooftops. We then walked up the castle steps to the palace grounds where the Czech president works today. So neat, with their own 17th c. castle. pretty convenient. My favorite part was Old Town. The huge, sprawling city center, the old clocks. I felt like Mandy Moore on Chasing Liberty...lol They also have these rolled cinnamon roll things that were heaven...can't go wrong with that. We took a bus tour and loved the city's history...dating far back. What a blessing WWII didn't hit this remarkable city where my first novel may take place in =') I also felt at home,(despite my lack of Czech,) becuause my grandpa is from somewhere in this area...So it was neat to want to learn more about my people, the bohemians. All in all go visit Prague or Praha everyone!
