Prague

For the Veteran's Day weekend, we headed off with some friends to explore yet another new city.  Prague is a wonderful place, very lively and full of beautiful architecture.  Despite the chilly weather, we had a great time taking in all the sights.

Charles Bridge and the Castle
Prague has the best street performers by far
St. Vitus Cathedral
A cute little building on the Golden Lane, which is part of the Castle
Astronomical Clock
An early morning along the river
Dawn on the Charles Bridge
Sunrise from the Charles Bridge
A trdelnik, which is a delicious pastry made by wrapping a sweet dough around a stick, roasting it over hot coals, and then rolling in sugar, cinnamon, and nuts.  We fondly referred to these as "turdles," and they pretty much fueled our entire weekend.
