we were determined to get out today after our lazy monday and as a result we ended up spending a good portion of the day out walking and exploring. we started by walking to the prague castle which is located right up the hill from our apartment. our interest in visiting the castle was perfunctory at best. we much prefer to get off the beaten track and get away from the tourist and tourist places.
but we are so glad we went and left wishing we had gone earlier in the trip. of course the place was swarming with tourist (which we begrudgingly have to consider ourselves at times) - but rightfully so. the castle and supporting buildings, churches, etc were so, so beautiful. built on top of the largest hill in prague - the castle grounds command an amazing view of all prague.
lots of walking and olive slept through most of it. olive - don't ever say we didn't take you anywhere as a baby - you don't remember because you love sleeping while mom is toting you around.
after the castle we recharged our batteries a bit and warmed up with some "authentic" irish stew - assuming that authentic irish stew is made with canned beans and hot dogs. headed out to the suburbs to another castle complex (beautiful parks all around it) where we did lots of more walking until it got so cold that olive's mouth actually froze to jen's nipple.
ended the night by returned to st. nicholas (we went there on our first night in prague) for a last night pizza.
