Praha, Thursday, April 18th
Today we visited the "little quarter" where we saw the Wallenstein Palace and later the Church of St Nicolas. The Church is done in the Baroque style and although far from the largest we have seen, is certainly among the most spectacular with its wine coloured marble and statuary clad in gold. We wound our way around before heading back to Wencaslas Square. I should have mentioned that today we took the metro - something we should have done yesterday when it was cold! Lunch was at the street vendor - kubassa on a bun - thin kubassa, but about 40 cm long! We then went to the National Museum and the Opera house before heading back along the Square to a scenic beer. Dinner was at the Pub in our building, which we did not have a chance to try before. As it turns out it was a great deal, but one can't do everything. Tomorrow to Kyiv!
A note on the Czech language. Although not as bad as trying to read Polish, they do leave out some vowels (which we do not in Ukrainian).
Czech food: The Czechs do not have Holuptsi or Pyrohy - I see an opportunity for a Ukrainian Canadian restaurant here!

It sounds as though you are having a terrific time. Please remember to come home Gail, we miss you terribly. We are still thinking of you enviously as we watch the clock and realize that you must be enjoying another of your scenic beers. Have a wonderful vacation, we will be following both of you from afar:)
