She said it!




It was a great day! Long, but great. We took loads of pictures (and narrowly avoided the great broken camera fiasco of Prague). I got us lost walking back to the metro to get to our hotel so we could get money and rush back to the Spanish synagogue for the great classical music performance we saw (we are so cultured). It's very kind of Angela not to mention that.

The boat tour we took was a load of fun (and we got free beer!). We also learned more about the city and what we've been taking pictures of. Turns out the statue we both took pictures of on the Charles Bridge is of some Saint who was killed for knowing a secret the king wanted, but would not tell him. So, if you touch the statue you get good luck and are guaranteed to come back to Prague. We touched it (see posted photos).

Today I learned: There are nice prague shopkeepers. However, they will smack the bums of their coworkers (both women) and I will almost get slapped in return. If Angela get's salty, feed her. It makes her happier. Some men in prague are rather emphatic when throwing away their banana peels. It must be done with vigor! Czech dumplings are good, but their potato cakes are WAY better. Always remember to pee before leaving the restaurant after having a liter of beer with dinner. It makes life far more comfortable.
