Ever since we moved to England, I have wanted to visit Prague... and, finally, I got my wish! The kids expressed their desire to NOT go spend 3 days in the cold shopping for garnets and crystal and taking in the sites, so Eric was nice enough to stay home with them. (Bet he didn't really want to shop for pretty stuff either!) So, I went with my friend Racheal... and it was fantastic!

What happens in Prague, stays in Prague...

Now, I have been to quite a few European cities by now... and I have to say that Prague is by far the most beautiful!

Nativity at the Christmas market

Racheal and I found this amazing store right next to the man hanging from the pole... and we spent hours trying to re-find it to buy hand painted pottery. We never could. It's like it didn't even exist. We walked miles combing every side street of the city...nope...no pottery store... or hangy man. Weird huh?

And this city isn't just beautiful; it smells amazing! Probably not so much when it isn't Christmas market time.... but during the Christmas market it is a combination of hot spiced wine, German sausages, chocolate, gingerbread, and, just Christmas!

The famous clock tower. Legend has it that the clock was made by the most famous Clockmaker in Europe, Mikalus, (who was from Prague) who spent an entire year locked in his room creating the beautiful clock. When the greedy council saw how beautiful it was they had Mikalus' eyes gouged out so that he could never create such a beautiful clock again...

That's me... I am shopping without any interuptions... could my smile be any bigger?!

Seriously, I have been to London, Paris, Rome, Edinburgh, Brugge, Dublin... and quite a few other places. But Prague? Wow. Blows em all away!
