Prague

After leaving Munich we made our way to Prague.

Prague Astronomical Clock (this is the oldest one still working). It keeps track of the position of the sun and moon, the months of the year, and the current name day being celebrated.  

This was an exciting marionet show of Mozart's Don Giovanni. It was definilty an eastern European experience.

Tyn Church behind old town square. This has alternated between a Catholic and Hussite church.

Old Jewish Cemetry - When they ran out of space in the cemetry and were unable to buy new land, they had to add new layers of soil and additional tombstones. The cemetry has a total of 12 layers of graves. (This is also said to be where the idea for Berlin's Memorial to the Murderd Jews came from, see picture in future post.) 

75 foot tall working metronome. This replaced the massive monument to Stalin after it was destroyed.  

View of St. Wenceslas Square. This was the sight of numerous political protests when Prague was under communism.

It took us some time to find kolaches but we eventually did!
