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.

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. |
