Prague is one of the places we go to get our visas activated. It is also a fun place for a vacation too! Everyone speaks english so it was very easy to get around. When we got off the train from Freiberg and started to look for a ticket for the metro, a strange looking little man started to help Jim. He helped him get change and a ticket and also took us to the correct metro line. However, it took him about 30 minutes to do it. He would tell me "moment" and motion for me to stay put and then he would say something to Jim that he didn't understand. We did get separated while Jim went to get some change and we were both a little nervous about that but this little man turned out to be very nice and was just being helpful. Blessings!!
We had a delicious continential breakfast every morning at our hotel. This is the big room where it was served.
Streets of Prague. We were getting ready for our tour. Jim and I had the guide to ourselves for most of the tour. It was wonderful! He (Jerry) had lived in Seattle for about 35 years and could speak great english and had a fun sense of humor.

This is Shilo, Kae's sister in law.
Silly me....I never dreamed that "Mom and Dad" on the side of Kae's blog would be such a fun place to spend an afternoon! I've been reading up on all your adventures and it looks like you're having a wonderful time. I wish you all the best and hope you won't mind me stopping by from time to time!
I have to remind myself that your cheeks are RED due to COLD air and not HOT. If only those old walls could talk what would they tell. Can you believe you were there? It seems so surreal, yet exciting!
