For those who have been following along after leaving Vienna, Austria we drove to the Czech Republic and to the city of Prague. Since the formation of the European Union there are virtually no boarders where you would normally stop and show your pass port to enter the country. That being said when you cross into a former communist block country you don't need any signs to tell you that it is a completely different history lesson. The city of Prague is very beautiful, clean, productive and upscale city with a very proud and historic past. Our hotel was right near the city square and I don't remember ever staying in a more elaborate place in my life. I will include some pictures of the lobby and the lady that played beautiful love songs on the harp while we were having breakfast every morning. Many food venders in the city square with their rotisserie hams on the wood fired grill and if you notice a small roller chain in one of the pictures that slowly turns the cone cakes. These cone cakes are like an inverted doughnut and they either ice the inside with chocolate or vanilla icing or fill it with ice cream. You can either walk, take a Sedgewick, rent a bicycle or jump in the buggy and the horses will show you the city while the driver tells you what you are seeing. Again music, food, flowers and gifts everywhere. Hope that I am not boring any one with all these posts. Just thought some might enjoy the ride. Tom
