We spent three days in Prague. I checked the Prague phonebook and no, there are no Poraks remaining in and around Prague. The first full day we spent wandering old town Prague. We picked up a bus tour that took us all around the city and dropped us off for 40 minutes at Prague Castle and Prague Cathedral, massive buildings on the crest of a hill overlooking the river and the city.

We arrived at night after a delayed train ride and headed straight for a cafe for some good pasta and vino. Our full first day included trips to San Marco Piazza, S...
