You can’t judge a book by it’s cover – certainly can be said about the city of Prague in the Czech Republic. Last June on our way to Krakow, Poland, our train stopped in the rail station of Prague. It is located on the edge of the city in an area that is pretty run down. Pat and I commented at the time that we really didn’t see any reason to visit the city. This year, I traveled with the Seniors (May 22nd through May 26th) for their class trip to Prague It is indeed one of the most charming cities in the world. It is like going back in time – cobblestone streets and 18th century architecture. The city has been very well maintained and has an excellent city transportation system. A one day pass (approximately $6.50) allows you to ride the metro, the trams and the buses anyway throughout the city. We toured museums, palaces, churches and other historical sites and had a fascinating time. Weather was a bit cool but it was excellent for the amount of walking that we did. The seniors had a good time and really seemed to enjoy exploring the city. We definitely plan to return here so Pat can enjoy this fine old Eastern European city.
Sports Day is coming up tomorrow – all the students are looking forward to this day. All grades are divided up in teams with members of the senior class acting as team captains. They will take part in fun games and relays. Pat and I will be in charge of the “Sponge Relay” which is always a lot of fun, especially on a hot day.
