Czeching-In! Day One in Praha


After 18+ hours of travel, we all safely made our way to Prague - most with suitcases; two (Stephanie and Kyle) whose suitcases decided to make a different trip. Settling in was the major task of the afternoon and first evening.

We are staying right on Wenceslas Square - a great location. While walking around before dinner, we came across the 1992 sculpture, "Wenceslas Riding an Upsidedown Horse." This was sculpted three years after the end of Communist rule. It was to symbolize the topsy-turvy days of free enterprise, and what Wenceslas would think of it all.

Food discoveries: Our fearless leader, Dr. Gary Pletcher, opted for the pig knee (traditional Czech). Should be interesting to learn about everyone's discoveries tomorrow - a day of exploration!
