Yesterday we were good little tourists and went up the hill to the Prague castle. There is a catherdral, several art museums, the palace, and museums with artifacts dating back to 2000 BC that were found in this area. We watched the changing of the guard, and checked out the knights' armor and the torture museum. It was a lot to take in, but very interesting.
After a Czeck lunch (more goulash), we walked across the bridge and through the old town. There is a clock there that does a lot of fancy stuff each hour, and it was chiming just as we walked up. A lady touched me on the shoulder and said 'I knew we'd see you here'. It was one of the Aussies we met on the bus to Bratislava! They came directly to Prauge, so they were a day ahead of us. We haven't really chatted with many English speaking people, so it was nice to bump into them and exchange tips.
Over a couple of beers at a pub that has been pouring Pilsner Urquell since the 1800s, Curt
had the following observations of our journey:
1. Everyone on Romania had dark hair and white skin. No boobs.
2. No boobs in Hungary. A few blondes here and there. There are no fat people - at all.
3. Slovakia - women there have big boobs.
4. Czech - melting pot (of white people). There are a few Japanese tourists, and a small number of Africans. But very small minorities.
We have encountered very few Americans. I think we've only talked to one couple from Iowa - they were at the internet terminal in our Budapest hotel.
The American dollar has slid since we got here. We should have bought more Euros when we arrived!

So, the trip has become all about boobs! :-) It's probably way there were so many great Romanian gymnasts.
well, if you're going abroad (snicker snicker) – sometimes you have to lower your gaze.
Hey, its all boobs in the art museums, so it must be sanctioned. If I see one more Madonna and child.....
