After having traveled to quite a few different cities around the world, the thing that strikes me as most interesting about Prague is how old and well preserved it is. Even after being a part of so many wars, and changes in power, everywhere you look there are beautiful old castles, buildings, churches, and synagogues. In the main square of the Old Town is a large clock tower. From here, you can walk to just about anywhere in the city--over the Charles Bridge, to the Castle and the exquisite Gothic Cathedral. We also spent an afternoon taking a tour of Jewish Prague, where we visited numerous synagogues.
We had a great time with Jacob's parents and Hersh really enjoyed being with his grandparents. Jacob and I went out to dinner after Hersh had gone to bed, since we had built in babysitters. We traveled back and forth from Prague by van with a driver and on the way back we got stopped by the Czech police for speeding.
I would recommend Prague as a city to visit to anyone who is planning to travel around Central Europe. Enjoy a Pilsner while you are there!
