Czech Republic Only a Memory!

Yesterday, we received a very late Christmas letter from an ex-neighbor with an explanation of why it was late. Yes, we had to laugh a little about it. But, a personal note accompanied the letter and this couple is headed for Europe on 4 May and are taking a train from Salzburg, Austria to Prague where they will stay at the Hilton for a couple of nights and then pick up a Viking River Cruise on the Elbe River to Berlin. As part of their tour, they have a guide around Prague but wanted to know if we had any suggestions on other things to see or a place to eat in their free time.

Here is where the memories come in...I got out my scrapbook and pictures. We kept every receipt and a Journal on our once in a lifetime trip. I would love to go back again and just live there in Bohemia for awhile. I remember our friends in Prague and my cousins in Kutna Hora and new friends in Brzotice with fondness.

Our neighbors will hit most of the highlights on the tour but I think they should just walk around downtown and go into stores and maybe find a courtyard Café to eat lunch as they walk around. We didn't use a tour on our trip and enjoyed discovering places on our own. One of our friends has a diamond store in Prague now so maybe I'll have the neighbors try to find his store.

Oh my...it would be nice to win a lotto so we could do a bit more traveling before we sail into the mysterious beyond...
