Prague- a romantic city

The weather here has been been wonderful, so we have been out walking every day. We went to Petrin Park, which has the funicular (not open yet) that runs up the hill to an observation tower that was built to resemble the Eiffle Tower. We had never been to this area before, so we enjoyed our walk. Of course Tom will tell you that I made him walk 10 miles that day - all uphill both ways ( but I think it was only about 6 miles). These benches were on the grounds of the Musaion, which was a museum of Czech folklore. Some guidebooks call it the Kinsky Summer Palace. Since we started our walk at the foot of the castle, by the time we got here we were ready for a rest. I hope those bright red shoes didn't get the same workout our sneakers did!

The museum...

When we left the museum, we climbed to the top of the hill. It was worth the trip as you can see.






This looks like quite the Lover's Leap, but these two didn't jump.

Everything looks so green. I am glad you are out and about and enjoying the sunshine while available. Right now, it is snowing...a typical Syracuse spring!

Hope that good weather holds while we're there! That wall looks like a real hazard--would never be allowed in the US without a fence and danger signs!
