Although we got plenty of rest the night before, this day felt like a marathon. We woke up really early so that we could see as much of the city as possible. However, we got a little too carried away and tried to see too many things.
Our first stop was the Jewish quarter. Prague has one of the most well-preserved Jewish community in Europe. Hitler decided he should preserve some items and buildings so that one day it could be saved in a museum of the "extinct race." Disturbing, I know. I wasn't supposed to take pictures, but here are some pics of the eerie cemetery - where several Jews were buried - sometimes in layers...
After some wandering, we made it to the Old Town to find a tour - more to come in the next post. The astronomical clock strikes every hour and huge crowds gather to join the excitement. These pictures are from the morning, which is why there is no one in them!
