When I checked into my lovely hotel last night I was given a stack of brochures of events. There was one that advertised a classic Czech concert in a nearby church. So before I knew it, I was off to walk the short distance to this new adventure. The church was built at the end of the 1200's and the acoustics were incredible! A violin player and an organ player performed 14 beautiful songs. Quite the welcome to Prague! After the concert I walked a bit further to a traditional pub/restaurant. Many people smoking and everyone but me with large beer mugs, the national hobby of Czech. I ordered the Czech goulash and it was delicious! The sauce as quite flavorful and when I told the young waitress how good it was she said make her smile too much. Cute. After the ainn course I had Czech pancakes for dessert. Three tiny pancakes came on a plate and they were covered quite artistically with sour cream, blueberries and powdered sugar. Delicious! It was a wonderful dinner and after the short walk back, I slept quite well in the very cold, comfortable room.
Today I decided to splurge and have a driver to see the main sights. Unfortunately my feet are barely working at this point so I have to find alternatives to walking whenever possible. I changed more money for Czech krowns and visited the palace/castle and the Charles bridge. It was lovely to drive around the city and ee so much of it. Then I walked around the old town square and watched the famous astronomical clock.
More later, now I'm off to see the famous Czech black light show. The Prague adventure continues!
