Prague, Czech Republic

Praha was the "Paris of the East". It was immaculate like Paris, but with colorful paint and spires. Here is a skyline view of the spires of Prague and beautiful old town square.



Pretty village houses


I loved this astronomical clock. When it struck, figurines of the 12 apostles come out like on a cuckoo clock.

Inside this church there is a stunning stained glass window by the famed Prague artist Alfons Mucha.

Everywhere, there are cute coffee shop/internet cafe/bookstores that you could easily kill a whole day in. People are friendly, so as you snack and read, you also chat with ex-pats from all over that have decidedly made Prague their world wide hangout of choice.

Funny, Istanbul is supposed to be the Paris of the East!

What a great stained glass shot. I always mess those up.
