Ahoj! I headed north for the long weekend and met John Ralph in Prague. He's working in Germany so we decided to cross the city off of our list of places to visit and explored while he had some time off. The weather was overcast, pretty cold, and at times rainy, but we still had fun in the town with some friends. We visited the Prague Castle and a few other main sights, but the highlight of the trip was eating trdelniks, or as we affectionately called them, "turdles". It's a beautiful city and I'm very happy we made time to visit. Here are some pictures from the trip!
Astronomical Clock. On the hour, the little figurines move and ring the bell. It's the oldest astronomical clock that still works.
Bubbles in the street.
Cheap Czech beer: it's what's for dinner.

Love.

More amazing street performers on the bridge.

We found a "turdle" without toffee bits and I enjoyed the heck out of it!

I love this photo.
Only shiny by chance, I rubbed the dog to get Darby some good luck.
Half past turdle time!
Trdelniks are made by wrapping a dough (sugar, flour, water, and yeast) around a wooden stick, and then roasted over hot coals. The hot baked pastry is then rolled in sugar, cinnamon, and nuts. It was so delicious!

I'm going to go through my pictures again and I may post a few more that I like, but that's all I have for now.
Gorgeous and interesting photos, Jessica!! You are becoming a "pro" with that camera. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteThanks Michelle! I've really enjoyed taking photos with it!
