I visited Prague back in 2003 when I was in college. All I remember is the gorgeous old town center and the really cheap beer. I was SO excited (and feel so lucky) to go back and visit again…. this time with Irving!

As soon as we arrived, we began a bike tour of the city.

We split up into three groups and peddled down the pebble streets.

Oh my gosh, it was SO fun. We went under old tunnels, over beautiful bridges and through picturesque parks.

Along the way, our tour guide pointed out historical sites and told us stories of the town.

It was exciting to see the famous Charles Bridge from the other side.

This modern building is called the “Fred and Ginger” because it resembles a dancing couple. Can you see it?

Riding bikes through old town was so much fun. It was so much faster and more fun than walking.

After we built up an appetite from an afternoon of riding, we had a traditional Czech meal inside the Opera House.

I opted for the vegetarian meal and got a delicious plate-o-carbs: Fried Cheese with boiled potatoes.

Dessert… YUM!

On the way back to the bus, we passed the Prague train station.This totally brought back memories since that was the way I arrived when I was there in 2003. Can’t believe I was able to come back again! I love Prague!
