Too Many Pictures of Prague

We spent a week in beautiful Prague, and had a great time. The weather was great (only a little drizzle one afternoon, sunshine the rest of the time), and the hospitality was perfect.

The architecture was a lot of fun. I know, it may not seem that unusual for Europe, but it is for those of us who live on this side of the pond.

Lots of buildings had details like this.

Of course, the real reason we went was to see Rui. Here he is, introducing me to a Krusovice.

This is the first of many "Prague by Night" pictures that I took.

Since we were there in late November, the sun set early, which is very convenient for this kind of thing. When I go back, I'll definitely spend more time walking in the evenings. As beautiful as Prague is during the day, it takes on a whole new mood when it gets dark.

The girls, out and about.

Sue & Andrew & the Boys

Sue & Andrew and the boys came for a short visit over the weekend.

Here we are shortly after they arrived - all being a little silly.

They were waking up between 4:30-5:30... in the morning... by the time Roxi, Julia and I woke up, Benjamin was already having a morning nap! Actually, even this was a little unusual for him - he had a long day sitting in a car on Friday.

We went to Bakerwoods in the afternoon.

This place is always gorgeous, even after most of the leaves have fallen.

Julia, as usual, couldn't get enough of Uncle Andrew. But... who can?

Thanks for coming to visit, guys! We hope you won't wait so long for next time.
