Hello from Lincoln, Nebraska!! This will be my last post. Wanted to let my fellow travelers know that the HEAVY wooden molds from the Harrachov glass factory made it home. Mom and I made it through customs and ran to our gate in Atlanta only to find out that rain had caused a delay......which continued through the evening. We were supposed to get home at 8:30pm and finally landed in Omaha at 12:30am....without bags! We are home and rested now. Thanks for following along. Hope you enjoyed the blog!
St. Vitus's Cathedral in the Prague Castle area.
This pic was taken on Charles Bridge. You have to see this bridge and walk over it to see its magnitude and enjoy the multiple statues. It was built in 1357 and replaced in 1741.

Astronomical clock in Old Town Hall Tower. The tower was added to the house in 1364.
Spend a great day in Prague last Friday. We are in the Wenceslas Square. This is a bronze equestrian statue of St. Wenceslas with the National Museum behind it.

Helena, Jana's colleague, gives her a hug at Milan's dinner party. Jana (pronounced "yanna") has been a fabulous guide. She has an amazing mind for facts, dates, names, places, lovers, kings, queens, their children, political parties, etc!!! She has lived under several government parties and will share what life was like under each "rulership" when asked. We are so thankful for her knowledge and quick humor! THANK YOU, JANA! To the rest of you Czechs .... I have her business card for your future travels! (and she will do private tours too!)
