Prague

 We flew into Prague Friday evening. It was painless and inexpensive. For anyone considering a trip to Europe once you snag a cheap flight on Norwegian airlines you catch flights anywhere in Europe very easily. The flight took an hour and twenty minutes. The airport in Denmark was one  of the nicest I've seen. It felt like more of a shopping mall than a airport and you could get some tasty food if you wanted. I slept the entire flight it felt like 5 minutes passed. And here we are in Prague! 

   We had a prearranged ride to our Prague apartment so even getting there was easy . As we drove into the city center we felt like two kids who were seeing dysneyland for the first time, only you can't make this stuff up. We have seen a fair amount of European cities at this point but none thus far have blown my socks clear off like this place. Prague castle glows in the dark like an enormous mountain watching over the city. Steeples and towers lit all around us overwhelming our senses. People bustling everywhere loud and frolicking on the streets. We head out for dinner even though it's 11 at night. We have our first taste of Czech food. Jimmie ate duck with some sort of sour crout dish .I had soup. We had chateau Neuf de Paup wine. A fraction of what you would pay at home. The waiter asked if we would like schnapps . Well of course.. when in Rome.. or wherever you must eat and drink the local way.. " would you like it on fire?" Sounds good... so after poaring the schnapps into a enormous glass he " roasts" the glass over a fire then it sort of blows up in the glass before he serves it. Well this ought to be good. It was. 

   We fell asleep with the loudest of loud people on the streets. Finally in the wee hours of the morning the revelers  went to bed and I woke for a moment to the smell of bread from the bake shop beneath us. 

   Goodnight Prague see you in the morning.
