Well a lot has happened since my last post. The east coast wasn't the only place in the world to get a lot of rain, I can tell you that. We started out our castle day with a lovely, yet overcast, walk to ... you guessed it, the Castle. So far these have been my favorite times in the city. I love people watching and all of the architecture is beautiful. The hardest thing to get used to is how nobody wants to be nice and share the sidewalks! Grown men shoulder check (Czech) old ladies because no one wants to twist a little! Anyway, our first stop was to St. Nicholas Church. I really wish I could get the photo sharing working on this thing, the pictures to share are backing up! Anyway, from there we walked up to the castle and along the way discovered one can drink on the streets :) this is a good thing because between you and I (& Heather agrees) the whole castle complex is boring as hell and a waste of time. Unless you are into obscure Czech religious art and parlimententary history I'd say admire the castle from afar to enjoy it best. The other thing to note is they request a 10krown deposit to use their restrooms. Heather was physically barred from using one because she only had a 9 or a 20! I acted like I had paid when I walked in and she hissed something I'm sure translated into 'liar' at me. So this is when the skies opened up for the next 8 hours and really turned our minds back to New Jersey and the worry of what might happen.
