Prague


- a bit of writing history in the window of the Rainer Maria Rilke restaurant





- view of Prague Castle from the Charles Bridge



- my beautiful wife in front of the Infant Jesus of Prague



- Franz Kafka statue



- our friend Milan Simackovi (actor, journalist, radio commentator), a Prague native, who served as our tour guide on Sunday.


I was fortunate to visit Czechoslovakia many years ago but this is my first visit to the reformed Czech Republic. What a beautiful city. And what a literary and artistic history to revel in (Franz Kafka, Rainer Maria Rilke, Tom Stoppard, Milan Kundera, Antonin Dvorak, Jan Hammer, and Milos Forman to name a few...).


And who can forget about the tennis players (Ivan Lendl, Martina Navratilova, and Jana Novotna)!
