Prague...a glimpse

I arrived to a very hot day in Prague and to the warm and smiling face of my friend Alena. For accomodations, I am staying at her cousins house in a village 30min by bus outside of Prague called Lhota. Its a village of only 100 houses, based on her cousinś house it is no means a cottage. Its beautiful and with a backdróp of the forest and open land...absolutely wonderful. Its strawberry season so they pick strawberries in the backyard for breakfast...how wonderful. I always say I´m a city girl but places like these make me think twice that I love the countryside just as much.

The things that rule here in Prague at least based on my one day introduction and personal tour guide "Alena"....Pilsner beer, dumplings, meat, castle, classical composers, Franz Kafta, great architectures, and gorgeous views from the river. There are lots of great pictures as usual and here I have some examples.

Sunset....this is the view from the garden by my bedroom...its gorgeous. I love the countryside.


A view of yours truely with the backdrop of the town from the Prague castle.


View from the Prague Castle of the roof tops and a restaurant called "The Cowboys".


Many irresistible narrow streets and stairways, this one is at the base of the Prague Castle.


Franz Kafka fans....this is his house along the Golden Lane.
