Christmas in Prague

I have to admit we didn't really get it get until last night. We saw Prague as amazingly beautiful, yet cold and somehow untouchable. Tonight we were touched in a sudden and inexplicable way; Prague enveloped us with her soul.

As we walked together through a narrow alley way and into the old town square, the true heart of Prague was revealed. Historic towers lit up along side huge Christmas trees, people from all over the world huddled together around small tables eating sausages and crepes and drinking hot wine, bright Chritmas markets selling there wares...

Christmas music was being played on a large intrument consisting solely of bells.

We suddenly understood the magic of Prague at Christmas. The heart of Prague could melt snow (that's why we haven't got any). Prague doesn't discrimiate; her most amazing treasures are free for all to enjoy.

Except these ones.

Tomorrow is Christmas day and naturally we are thinking of family and friends back home. The downside of being away at Christmas is that we can't share it with you. We are thinking of you and wishing you a safe and very happy Christmas. x
