Prague

Prague is one of my favorite places on this trip. Not because of Prague itself (which was still awesome, don't get me wrong--a gorgeous city!) but because of the people I met there. It was definitely a highlight. And everything there is so cheap! A full steak dinner with Wine and dessert was only about 15 bucks! Wonderful city.

This crowd had me confused. They were all standing staring at some old clock. I saw this on my first day there. Then, I found out that the clock was the famous Astronomical Clock! Wooo! Big deal, right?

See, I didn't see why there were that many people, till I found out that not only does the clock do a nifty Cuckoo display every hour, but it also keeps track of the stars and moon, as well as keeps near perfect time, and it's nearly 700 years old! I have to admit, when I found that out, I was rather impressed.

Indiana Jones and the Emperors Tomb fans should recognize this courtyard as part of some inspiration for the game.

Touching the Gold for Luck!

Shooting a crossbow in Prague Castle--It's a lot harder then you'd think!

If you ask me, there is NOTHING better looking then a gorgeous girl in a Fedora. This is Sarah, from the south of France, a super nice gal who I hope to keep in touch with.

Ah, the Green Fairy--Absinth. It is perfectly legal in Eastern Europe, but not so in Canada and the USA. it's made of a Wormwood derivative, contains about 70% alcohol, and tastes horrible, but it makes you see things. Trust me on that one. At least I can say I did it--but never again!

After an amazing few days in Prague, it was off to Rome. Bella Roma!
