Day 9-Prague at Night

After the tour bus dropped us off from seeing Terezin we started to walk back to the hotel to rest a bit before we went to dinner that night. But, I started seeing things that I wanted to take pictures of so Ryan and John headed back and my sweet husband stayed with me. The sun went down and I had a hard time staying still to take the pictures, but I tried!

I was just checking the light and "shot from the hip" and I ended up really liking this picture! :-)

One of the towers in the city. On our ride into the city from the airport our driver took us through and we were in total awe!

The Christmas Market was still going on and there were vendors selling items. I got an original oil painting and an original watercolor. I was super happy!

Notice how fuzzy David got?? We couldn't get our converter to work with any of our electrical units and so David couldn't trim the his beard and I had horrible hair!

While the 3 of them were out one night a local recommended this restaurant. They didn't have a Czech menu so we gave the waiter our meat of choice and he brought us out a meal.

Mine was all pork. A tenderloin, ham, and sausage with dumplings, potato cakes, and cabbage. It was to die for! Once again I had the best meal at the table! They all had entree envy!

Interesting art work in the restaurant. And people had their dogs in there as well.
