Prague, Czech Republic


A view of the Prague castle.

A guy's pic overlooking Charles Bridge.
A view of the Charles Bridge from a neighboring bridge. (Without us blocking the way.)

According to one of my friends, this is supposed to be the most famous of the statues on the bridge.

A photo of yours truly overlooking the water on the bridge.

There were tons of people on the bridge.

The big tower at the most famous sight in Prague, Charles Bridge.

A cool looking statue in the middle of Old Town.

St. Nicholas Church in Old Town Square.

The inside of St. Nicholas Church.

The clock tower at the famous Old Town Square.
The food was INCREDIBLE in Prague! These are my pork medallions I had for my first meal there.
I thought Mr. Dale would like to know that Anheuser wasn't the first to make Budweiser.


St. Vitus's Cathedral in Prague Castle

Inside the cathedral.

The other side.

The back of the cathedral.

A pretty awesome view of the entire city from it's highest point.

We went to the annual "Prague Food Festival" on Saturday. It was excellent, basically the "Taste of Toccoa" of Prague. Every restaurant was there and you go to sample all the local cuisine.

We were surprised to see a fireworks show and we happened to be at the highest point when we saw it. Pretty cool...

Versailles



The golden gate at Versailles.



A great view of the gardens. Why don't we do this with the field of dreams, Dad?




A view of the Palace. Think King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette could have been on Cribs?


You could definitely get lost in all the mazes.

Notre Dame, Champs-Elysees, Arc de Triomphe



A scaled down model of the entire city of Paris.


Headed to see Notre Dame.

The front of Notre Dame.


A side view of Notre Dame.


A view of the inside...


Nice photo looking at the Arc de Triomphe from the beginning of the Champs-Elysees.


The "solo shot" beside the Arc and the famous round-about, Chevy Chase anyone?

First Full Day in Paris



First meal in Paris. I decided to go with fine dining.

The Eiffel Tower at night.


Apparently the Eiffel Tower lights up at some point during the night...
