Hollis and thank you, I am back and did all you mentioned and more. I could spend a week there and not see it all. Loved Old Town and got to know it. kept getting lost and it was wonderful. Ready to kill all the tourists-even though I was one-they were everywhere and I was in shoulder season and during the week!!! Amazing accordion player on the Charles Bridge and ;loved the Rodeo Drive of stores in the Jewish Section. Traffic a nightmare!!! Loved it very much.

Deborah, hope it's not too late. Praga mater urbium, my hometown. My love, my life. You mentioned the castle, worth a day, if you want to see some, I'll throw some points in: St Vitus Cathedral and it's treasures, the astronomical clock, the old market square, Charles bridge (sure), the Jewish Ghetto, the "Golden Lane" (Zlatá ulička in Czech) where once among some wizards Kafka had a house, visit Malá Strana and drink a locally brewed Beer :-), if you happen to need more, just tell me. Also, there's a thing you absolutely can NOT avoid in Praha: guided tour groups. The City tends to be very very crowded with them.

I love these pictures of Prague. In the late 1800's my great grandparents emigrated from what was then Bohemia to the U.S. I have often wondered if I still have relatives in the Prague area.

Museum of Medieval Torture Instruments sponsoring. I could have sworn it was housed in my high school when I was there. Hmmm.

How good! this is beautiful! although I live thousands of kilometers away, I have met in a tram that circulates online and it is wonderful, because I can say, that I know Prague virtually.

Most people think winter is the most dangerous time of the year, where in fact it is really spring. It is when all the buds are shooting!

While watching the snowfall here, yesterday, you could still see the far bank across the river and beyond. It was interesting seeing the effect of urban-warming when comparing the view from the airport, which is just a few miles north of the city, where you could hardly see the runway it was snowing so hard.
