I arrived yesterday. We walked for 8+ hours. Spent most of the day in the Jewish quarter. At one time, Prague had the largest Jewish population in Europe. Visited a holocaust museum (similar to Vietnam memorial, listed all of the known names of Jews from the area that lost their lives. There were many walls covered. I also visited a museum of Jewish culture.
Today, was out walking for 12 hours (sounds tiring doesn't it, but wanted to get everything in in a day and a half). Visited a smaller version of the Eiffel tower and Prague's castle. Ended up climbing lots of steps today (299 to the top of the Eiffel tower want-to-be alone). Went to a classical music concert in a church - very popular to do here. Heard two Ave Maria's, but did not recognize either (Caccini and Handel). Heard Back, Mozart, Vivaldi, and more. I liked Pachelbel's Fugue in C Major the best. Off to Croatia tomorrow. More later.
