Prague during our free time

Uncategorized 1 Minute

Notice how clean the streets are. Lots of tourists in the main square in old town. The astronomical clock is fun to watch when it chimes on the hour and all the figures move. It tracks lunar and solar phases, displays the date, and every hour the doors open and a procession of the Apostles occur. It was built in 1410 and has undergone a few alterations.

The clock makers were Mikulas of Kadan and mathematics and astronomy professor Jan Sindel. It is the oldest functioning astronomical clock in the world.
A little rain didn’t stop us. Notice how crowded the square was near the clock in previous picture. The streets are spotless, crews were cleaning during the day and night.
Found a great restaurant on our own. Patty had a very good pasta and shrimp dish.
I had beef cheeks and a side of grilled veggies with a nice Czech Republic red wine.
