Trip log - Prague September 7, 2007

Friday, September 7, Riz and I found a gap in our schedules to walk around Prague and do the tourist thing. Prague is indeed great for architecture lovers. Here are some pictures from our day.

This was my third trip to Prague and with every trip I seem to enjoy the city more. Although it has become very touristy, it is still a city one can just frolic around and absorb the architecture. There is still a very Eastern European flavor to the city with significant Russian overtones, but it seems that over the years that may be something that will be lost with The Czech Republic rapidly becoming a part of the mainstream Europe. I guess Hungary and Romania are other countries that I should visit before they start to lose their Eastern European charm.
