Obama is coming to prague on the 5th of dubna - don't you know that means April
The church at Namesti Miru metro stop - we never found out what church it was...
Theres another picture of it
Martine in the ever so stylish Prague metro
Namesti Miru (pronounced - nah mah stay mee rooo) interesting.
A lovely painted building
Walking along St. Wenceslas Square
A church steeple & a tram
This is the statue of St. Wenceslas (Svaty Vaclave) in front of the archeological museum
Wow, H&M is expensive in prague...
Martine with her Prague hat on! It was really cold so we bought hats.
Another building
A couple archways
Another building
Oh, this is the town hall, I'm pretty sure
More of the town hall
painted fresco in the apse
symbol of prague
a beautiful clock tower
Czech flag & the EU flag - because the CR is part of the EU, they just like to use their own money and make life confusing for us :)
A picture of Svaty Vaclave the wonderful
In Old Town Square
A statue of someone, I couldn't understand this name :(
The door at the church of St. Nicolas
the outside of St. Nicolas
Pilsner Urquell - yum
The famous clock that some guy made and then when he was done, someone poked his eyes out so he could never make anything as beautiful ever again - this is a common theme in ancient history, which honestly, would make me not want to make beautiful things...
A water fountain
Painting buildings is their thing in Prague
This is Gollum, which is their superhero - he can change the weather and does nice things for the people from Prague
Don Giovanni - this is the sign for the marionette show that we saw here, it was in its original italian - as it is an opera.
Dinner - vegetables!
And potato pancakes!
the marionettes
She was my favorite - she had a beautiful voice and was the prettiest of all of them
That was probably the coolest part of Prague
Notice the hands under the curtains - it was really well done! The guy in black in the center is Don Giovanni
This is mozart - he was conducting, but he got drunk, and then he was blowing kisses to us. The guy who controlled him was EXCELLENT!
So, one of the controllers came on stage (because they totally did a funny ending to it) and accidentally knocked over the puppet that is lying on the floor. He administered CPR to him...
There he is again, he really wanted them to stop acting, I think it was their funny ending, so he kept hanging them up and then yelling at them because they kept singing etc.
Don Giovanni - what a player.
What?? Its snowing in Prague???
I don't know if you can see the snow or not, but its falling - theres Martine in the snow
The palace on the way up to Prague Castle
The gate to Prague Castle

Prague castle from below
A church that we didn't go inside of because it cost way too much money
Inside the church of the Holy Infant
Sorry its blurry. Of all the things I have learned from my time abroad, the most important is that its impossible to get a good picture inside of a church.
The lectern - baroque, baroque, baroque (elaborate, overdone, extravagant)
The only reason I got a picture of this is because it was sitting right in front of the John Lennon Peace Wall - which you should now examine the pictures of on your own:
A waterwheel
Prague castle from below
St. Charles Bridge
Martine & the river
