All Good Things Must Come To An End

Planes, trains and automobiles in the Czech Republic...

In the historic town square in Prague, gazing at the famous astronomical clock...

The clock dates back to 1410.

Right before the last picture was taken we witnessed a groom picking up a bride and swirling her around in a circle, then the couple was showered with rose pedals (perhaps a Czech tradition?).

Later on Rob ran into the newlyweds in the elevator of our hotel and they asked for the picture (above) so Rob emailed it to them!

This is the King's Road (or Royal Road) that runs from the King's Court to the King's Palace by way of the Charles Bridge.

Within 10 seconds of being seated at every restaurant with WIFI this is what happens...

and it drives me a little crazy.

The Saint Vitus Cathedral...how DID they build these things in the 1300's?

At the Prague Castle...

The Charles Bridge is in the background.

Chris was pretty happy to be able to see the "Dancing House", nicknamed "Fred & Ginger". The structure was designed by Croatian-Czech architect Vlado Milunić in co-operation with Canadian-American architect Frank Gehry and completed in 1996.

Later in the day we all took a quick spin on a segway.

Then Chris, Rob and Carrie jammed in the town square.

At dinner we met up with some other street musicians from Germany and France. They are called the Streetles.    https://www.facebook.com/thestreetles

So they all decided to jam together and set up in the main square. They were immediately surrounded by literally hundreds of people who wanted some entertainment, but then within minutes the police came and shut the music down (sounds like a P-ville Labor Day Party, right!)

They relocated to under a small bridge - and the police came again. So they moved along as a little marching band and found a great location next to a restaurant where they played together until midnight - 2 Germans, 1 Frenchman and 3 Americans - never having met before but making beautiful music together!

They had to move again, just a bit, when a big trash truck came into the square.

What a great way to end an amazing adventure. 

Thanks for staying with us to the end!
