Prague: Aug 23 - 30


Ah, the buzz / high of being in a new city for the fist time and liking what you see. I arrived in Prague a little over 24 hours ago. I will be working for a few days and then have friends joining me to start a one week vacation (Prague, Bratislava, and Budapest). First impressions of Prague are fabulous. From what I hear the city center is about as old European quaint as you will find anywhere. The walkways are crowded with people milling about taking in the sights. The buildings are old and historic while you find modern art spread throughout the city center. The picture above was taken on the thoroughfare that leads to the main museum. I am told that the outer lying portions of the city are drab and grey with lots of communism era built housing that is functional but without soul.
