Beautiful Prague - The Final Chapter

In our precious two days left we had lots of territory to cover....we did take a car trip to Steve's facility about 1 hour away from Prague and the scenery looked a lot like this....
very rural, farm country and beautiful. I have to add we stopped about 5 times for directions as we could not get the GPS to work and the roads are not marked that well, but it was a beautiful place to be lost!

Little churches dot the area and no billboards or power lines - very old country. Steve's facility is next to an abandoned Russian air strip...lots of American Corporations are building EU centric facilities in the area.



On the road back we had a better view of all of Prague....we stayed mainly in the historic district and I ventured out (was lost) in several areas of this beautiful city.
When we returned late in the day we walked to a traditional Czech restaurant and feasted on these delicacies - not sure what we ordered, but this is what we got



Pork steak, hash brown medallions and a green salad.



Brats, Ham, stuffing and some kind of bread dumpling.....all very good!




The next day I made sure Steve saw all the things he wanted to see again and some of the new things that I had found. He wanted to go back to the Astronomical Clock and this time got a great picture of the Apostles and gold rooster.


We went to the castle and walked all over the gardens and the vineyard. I took him into St. Vitus and all around the courtyards.



We walked down by the river with the St. Charles Bridge in the background - can you tell how cold it is by our bundled up bodies? It was so windy I had to wear my hair in a braid or pony tail.



He wanted to see the Lennon tribute wall so we went over there and he loved it as much as I did



Lennon was right - 'All you Need is Love'.....


So while we had the opportunity I had to add more of Adam's stamp on Lennon's Wall...I put Adams' favorite song title and the one we danced to in the Mother Son dance when he and Shannon were married....'In My Life'....




So we walked and walked until late that night just soaking in Prague - I would love to go back. The next morning we took the long flight home (17 hours) thru Amsterdam and Atlanta and it was so good to get home. Like my little plaque says 'Away is Good; but Home is Best'.


Thanks for sharing
