Strahov Monastery- dating from 1140.
The library in the Philosophical and Theological halls is over 800 years old.
In different rooms of the monastery there are beautiful frescos.
Uvoz street leading down from the monastery to the Prague castle.
After watching the changing of the guards, we entered through the gates of the Prague castle.
The spectacular gothic style of St. Vitus's Cathedral contains about 800 years of history.
"Good King Wenceslas looked out, on the feast of Stephen..." (The tomb of St. Wenceslas)
"I love flowers!" said Rebecca Hayes many times as she wandered through the Royal Gardens.
Ben intensely listened to the "singing fountain." When the water hits the bronze bowl, it makes a musical sound.
Nothing like freshly squeezed grapefruit juice on the terrace below the Prague castle.
The Wallenstein Palace Gardens were beautiful! The white peacock, peacocks and other fowl added to the personality of the foliage.
BENJ! Don't look so sad standing there in front of the Wallenstein Palace. It's okay that you just LOST your CREDIT CARD! Thank you Lord for kind people! Ben found his card at a restaurant we had eaten dessert at the night before. We searched for hours and had called to block the card when we decided to check at one more restaurant. Ah! Ha! There it was! Ben called and had that card back in business in no time.
Tulips everywhere!
Frescos on the pavillion ceiling in front of the Wallenstein Palace.
Strange art on a wall in the gardens.
The National Museum at the entry way to Wenceslas Square.
There has been a gate here since the 11th century. In the 1600's the Powder Gate used to store gunpowder. This gate divides old town from new town.
Bellevue restaurant is probably one of the most posh places we have ever eaten. The fish of the day was excellent! We shared, so this was half the normal portion size. Sorry Ben!
Pension Filip was a nice guest house. It was a little different than we had expected, but nevertheless, we snagged a great deal for three nights.
This unusual church building was in the middle of the park across from the church we attended in Prague.
Through these doors you can find church meetings in Czech, Chinese, and English. We haven't been working on our Czech or Chinese, so we attended the English one. There were probably about 75-100 people from all nations. How wonderful to be able to join together and worship our Father with Christ as the center of our diversity. Of course we found common connections with some of the missionaries by playing the "who-do-you-know" game.
We tried to capture the beauty as we drove through the Czech Republic and back into Southern Germany.
As Ben flew down the Autobahn at 1... (well I won't tell you the actual speed)... a Germany police man zoomed up on his bumper and flew past him at incredible speeds. Wow! Only on the Autobahn!
