Prague, Czech Republic

Typical Czech house address sign.
The Prague Metro has some great modern art. We rode it all over.

The Czechs were more or less given away to Hitler by the French and the British in 1939. The Nazi's swept in and had control of the country practically overnight. With no support from the soon-to-be allied forces, they had no chance and it was a bloodless takeover. Luckily for us today, that means all of the gothic achitecture of Prague still stands, unlike so much of Europe which was devestated in the war.


Prague is truly magical. It is our consensus favorite city we've seen.
