Made it to Prague

As I worked today on the computer and wiped pureed sweet potatoes off my face(my precious likes to blow raspberries while she eats) I received several emails and some wonderful wonderful pictures from my mama....Oh dear maybe I can dream of this place tonight! Last year I made the trip overseas-it was hard but worth every minute. Tootsie is preparing the day she will get to go... : ) And maybe we can eat madeleines together...

"Prague, the ultimate European city....every turn is exactly the way you vision.


Europe. Just 21 hours from my home to the most beautiful little 5 star hotel (and worth every minute).....I could hardly walk in the old hand carved doors. Picture this...a little small palace...satillo tile floors, upholstered gold leaf antique furniture with brocade burgundy fabrics (all the same fabric throughout public areas)....beautiful large dripping crystal chandeliers with kilim and Persian rugs. The cherry on the cake???...magnificent European mounted trophies adorning the walls..Alchymist Grand Hotel"...an old historical palace "Mala Strana"....(house of Jesus child)....dating back to 1591. Can't quite picture this?...neither could I. The mix is breathtaking!! "


" a RAINY day...we sloushed through the cobblestone streets and shopped"

Look she looks like a woman of Prague herself-hang tight to that bright red satchel!
So charming!

What a breathtaking view...

Wonderful old rustic buildings centuries old-standing strong...



Oh my just wonderul looks like a dreary day in Prague....



Another view of the city from up high the old red top roofs and beautiful buildings...



"Prague is known for handmade wooden puppets, wooden toys (ones you remember from childhood)...and the Bohemian crystal. John must eat a whole pig leg before we leave....tomorrow at noon...He calls the "big hamhock." It is also known as the Bohemian country....beautiful, beautiful city."
