A visit to a museum to see some epic paintings of the history of the Slav people was on my wish list for today. I figured out how to get us there, and away we went. When we arrived, I told Rich to make sure the exhibit was still there before we bought our tickets...and it wasn't. What a HUGE disappointment!! Plan B was a trip to the Prague Zoo. The weather was absolutely perfect for this, and apparently half of Prague thought so, too! The bus that took us to the...

We finally got our Mexican food itch scratched!! Our food guide had given us the name of a place that she swore had great Mexican food, and she didn't steer us wrong! Tortilla chips and some of the best guacamole I've ever eaten!! They don't do ground beef here for some reason, so I opted for chicken tacos. They weren't quite what I was expecting or hoping for, but they were still delicious. Rich had enchiladas and although they weren't what you'd get in Texas, t...

Today was all about visiting some of the major tourist sights of the city. We began by making our way to the palace/cathedral which overlooks the city.

It was about $15 each for the inclusive ticket, plus another $15 each for the audio guide. We decided we could share the audio and opt...

We had a lazy morning and finally left for our food tour about 45 minutes before we had to be there. We decided to take the tram this time since we weren't going very far, and we got to see more of the area we are living in. We were there in no time. We waited for a bit and kept thinking our guide would be a no-show, but a couple minutes before noon, she showed up. So did a group of six others, which always makes it more fun. We had two Aussies, three from New ...

The metro stop is only about a two minute walk from our apartment, so getting around the city is pretty easy as far as that's concerned. We bought our tickets at a tobacco shop, then had to figure out how to validate them. This metro system doesn't have a turnstile to go through, which is so different from others we've been on. We managed to get on the correct train and off at the right place. Had a bit of trouble finding the tram stop thanks to a google maps gl...
