The (first) Prague Blog

We left Vienna this morning around 8 am, heading toward the Czech Republic. We were stopped at the Austria/Czech Republic border when a guard came on the bus to check each of our passports. That is the first time I had experience anything like that. He was satisfied and we were quickly on our way.

I could not resist the t-shirt.
I have been using this "pun" for a month now!

We took a quick side trip to Telc (rhymes with BELCH), a beautiful city about an hour outside of Prague. We walked around the little town, had lunch and took in the magnificent views.

Allison was also able to read a bit more of Harry Potter 7
under the shade of a tree in the town square.
(She finished it when we got to the hotel!)
Tonight we attended a "Traditional Folklore Dinner"
We were entertained with the music and dances of the region.

And Allison was selected to go up and dance!

This is Derek, our Gate 1 Travel Tour Guide. He is fantastic...and hilarious.
He is also from the same area of London that Allison lived in!

This is Allison's new best friend, Catherine. Catherine is a junior high student (go figure) and she ALSO just finished Harry Potter so guess what they talked about!

The moms...traveling with

...the daughters.

Allison has crashed for the night and I'm heading that way. We have a 6:30 am wake up call for our early morning site-seeing tour of Prague tomorrow.
We can't wait to Czech it out!
