Europe day 7



            Characterized by some as the most beautiful city in the world, Prague is certainly one of the most beautiful we have ever experienced.  Hal and Millie Weathers back home had recommended as a tour guide a former high school friend from Macon, Georgia, former CPA and investment banker Krysti Brice, who has lived here more than 20 years.  Krysti loved Prague so much she quit her job and now calls it home.  We roamed the streets with her, learning about the history and architecture of the place, until we could absorb no more.  It was overwhelming.  For this first full day, we will simply share the photos with you, and suggest you just click on the first one so you’ll be able to scroll through the larger versions:

        Taking all this in took a great deal of energy, of course.  We couldn't have done it without a quick stop at Prague's finest ice cream shop.  You would have been proud of my self-restraint; I only ordered one scoop of the jasmine rice and cinnamon flavor.  It was exquisite.  The cinnamon did not overpower the jasmine rice, which would have happened in a lesser shop.  Kristi, Tricia, and Viren went over the top and had among themselves the following flavors:  pistachio, poppy seeds & plum,  pear & ginger, marscapone & wild fig, and  gianduja (chocolate and hazelnut).  Only upon their insistence did I sample a bit of each of these flavors.

        What a city!
