My Honeymoon - Prague

I wanted to share a few pictures taken on my honeymoon. I've narrowed it down to just a few, but I believe these few to really say something about how amazing a place Eastern Europe is. The scenery is so wonderful that it feels as though you've stepped into a renaissance painting. Colors are rich, landscapes mountainous, houses colorful yet austere. Your eye can't begin to take in all the details that arrest your attention.

















One of my fondest memories is eating a piping hot sausage on a bun and drinking mulled wine, a combination of lemon, cinnamon and red wine. Let me tell you, it will really warms you up.



I was also fortunate enough to visit Kafka's house which has been turned into a tiny bookstore selling only his books. I've been an admirer of Kafka for many years, so it was remarkable to be able to stand in a place he once wrote.
















In addition to magnificent churches, you'll also notice a rather colorful building. The building was designed by a famous Viennese artist. He attempted to make the village into art, and as you can see he was quite successful. On the right is the Prague Astronomical Clock built in 1410!





















And that's it! This last picture was taken in Salzberg in Mirabell Gardens near the childhood home of Mozart.
