Day 6

Mic czecha 1 . 2 ..... Mic czecha. Is there anybody out there? What up all? So, today we went to the castle. Prague castle is the building on the hill that you have probably seen in everyone of our posts up to this date. Look here's a look at day 3!

So up and away we went to see this little city upon a hill. And when I say up, I mean up. I had a heavy back pack on and it wasn't all that easy.

Here's Alli though with no back pack at all. All she has to carry is that cute new sweater she got from H&M and to wear her new turtleneck. I'm not complaining though. As long as she's happy, I'm happy!!!!!!!! Praha, Praha!!!


Here's a stunning little view from the almost top if the hill. I forget what that dome is but the thing in the background is the TV tower. Only in Prague, lol. I guess the idea of a giant television tower doesn't seem too appealing, but the tower is actually kinda cool. For one, it's the tallest tower in prague and has an observation deck with the best view of the city. Cool, I guess. And, 2nd, there's a restaurant in the top! Doesn't get much better than that. Oh, and did I tell you that it also delivers quality television pictures to every home in Prague?????? Right when you thought it couldn't get better, it did! Buy one now, and we'll send you a second free! takes 2 - 12 weeks for delivery - 99.99 s&h

Sorry bout that. Look at me looking! I wonder what I see. Oh, those are my H&M glasses. I couldn't let Alli be the only one to have any fun.

Here's a look down the hill. From, once again, the almost top.

More roadage. Wasn't sure if you got to see them enough back home.

OMG. It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. I probably wasn't thinking that, but this fantastic pic that my beautiful wife took sure makes it look like I was.

Take a look from my point of view. Maybe I was thinking that. Oh, this is St. Vitus' cathedral. It's the thing that is most recognizable from afar. The church was founded in the 1300s and I think it took a couple hundred years to complete. I might be making that up, but I think it is more interesting that way.

This is the entrance into the main courtyard of the castle. Once again, I think it is, but I can never be entirely certain. there are three courtyards and I don't really know which is the main one, but this one is kinda a cool one, and if I was a bohemian king, I would call this one my main co yard. I call it that because court yard isn't as cool. Also, check out those two dudes killing those other two dudes. That's why you don't mess with the central east side, throw 'em up!

Alle, Alle auch sind frei! What a site. Let's see what else she sees.

This

and this

and this! Here is the changing of the guard. They change the guard everyday at noon with no celebration, but on Sundays they party! Everybody comes and marches around in a straight line and trumpets honk whilst some other blue uniformed soldia stands and yells things. It doesn't sound that cool, but it was a lot of fun to see these guys march around for a few. They make me giggle. I think the guards probably wish they were guarding Buckingham, because at least there they get to wear cool hats. These cats just get to wear silly blue hats and those ridiculous red, blue, and white arm thingys.

Cool guns! I like the pointy knifes at the ends!

This is where we sat and thought about things for quite some time. I took pictures of Alli. When we get back there will be hundreds to see. Here's Alli!
This is me writing in my journal on a bench facing the Vlatava on the other side of the castle. We do this a lot, sit, and I usually write and Barry takes pics. It is so pleasant!
Back to Barry for a moment. . . . .
She said what I said. LOL!

This is Eurofest!!! We only stayed for a little while, but held out strong most of the day. The game didn't start until 8:45, we left after about half an hour, and then they scored. We passed a taxi cab driver who went "yessss!" so that is how we knew. Then at home in our apartment we heard loud screams, and "goooooaaallllll" from all across the neighborhood, so we figured it must be 2-0....Then at sometime in the night Barry says we woke up to more screams, he says I did too, but I don't remember...Anyways these were screams of agony and defeat. Apparently it was one of the greatest comebacks ever!!! Back to Barry.......
factoid* The Turks scored two goals in the final three minutes to seal the come from behind win.
Something you don't very well see in your everyday football match.

This is a pick from the back of our tram on the way home! Apartment pics to follow!!!! We have to keep you coming back for something.
Na videnou!
