Seeing as how things are spelled in the Check Republic, I'm sure I wrote some kind of word as title. I mean, throw some shit together and bam, you got yourself a sentence. It's really neat.

Anyway, Today was our first day in Prague and it was awesome. We got to see a lot and instead of telling you, I'll just show you:

When we tried to get off the tram, the door shut before my grandma got off and despite her
calls to the driver, it drove off without her. It was only a little bit further so no harm done :-)

There was some kind of all-day concert in the river.

The Karlsbridge and the St. Nickolas cathedral.


On the Karlsbridge.



You rub it for good luck or something. At least tourists rubbing it kept it pretty.






Deliciousness from the Check Republic and Slovakia called trdelnik.



Not the only bride we saw today. Prague seems to be a popular wedding
location. Ahem.









Yeah, at one point this naked lady walked by and she was being filmed. I don't know.
Maybe it was a project. Or maybe she was just out for a stroll.

Apparently, this is the symbol of apothecaries. It measn Beauty through health.
Pretty kick-ass symbol! Although it's a little contradictory because she's obviously anorexic.
THE clock (the top one). It's on the main square and world famous. They blinded the guy who made it
so he could never make a clock like this ever again. It doesn't just tell time, it also has the astrological signs and calendar. The clock was first installed in 1410, making it the third-oldest astronomical clock in the world and the only one still working (I just stole that from Wikipedia but it's totally legit).

Every hour on the hour, the little windows above the clock open and little wooden figures come by. It was really fun to see because a lot of people gather around the clock and clap. There's also a guy at the top who plays some instrument for a while.




This is where the old president announced that the Check Republic was free from Russia.





I don't know what this is but I liked it.

I am obsessed with Matryoshka's and I am on a quest to find the perfect one. I found some
awesome ones but I'm not willing to spend 70 Euros on it. We'll see what I find...

That was a joke. reghkunlvik flvhesik bsritrva means nothing as far as I know.
