Getting Aquainted with Prague



Great photo Annika took of the three of us

Shopping for Marionettes was a daily activity until Annika finally decided on a lion

St. Charles Bridge

"The most popular statue is probably the one of St. John of Nepomuk, a Czech martyr saint who was executed during the reign of Wenceslas IV by being thrown into the Vltava from the bridge. The plaque on the statue has been polished to a shine by countless people having touched it over the centuries. Touching the statue is supposed to bring good luck and ensure your return to Prague."
