Here are a couple of vids from an evening horse drawn carriage ride around Prague. Wow what a town. There isn't anything at home like this. There is a huge palace, old medieval towers, Gothic and Baroque cathedrals, narrow twisted streets full of life, and plenty of places where the Czechs got the living daylights beaten out of them resisting communism. Masons charged with filling the bullet holes after protests refused to hide the history and intentionally mismatched the mortar so all would know what happened. A great freedom loving people and a beautiful place to inspire the selfless acts of courage that took place.
(T-mobile Germany sucks so the second video will have to wait until late, late to upload. I'm disappointed with blogger's video as well. The original isn't this dark,,, oh well you get the idea.)
And below are a few of my faves from the museum of communism whose location is described in their own advertisements as; "Above McDonald's, across from Bennetton, and next to the casino. Viva la Imperialism!" Didn't take these folks much time to revel in their freedom again.
Ahhh, finally. Here's some more of the carriage ride if you didn't get enough. Turn up the sound 'cause Ben is precious.
