St Matthew's A-Fair

Prague has an annual spring carnival - kind of like the McLean Firemen's Field Days - only bigger. This is one of the best known and popular fairs in Prague, and it is allegedly the first spring fair in Europe. http://www.matejskapout.cz/

The carnival is held on the Prague exhibition grounds which has beautiful permanent buildings, and dancing fountains, which we have to go back to see. It is on the FAR edge of the park that is close to where we live.

Some friends claimed that we could walk there one evening- so walk (and walk, and walk) we did!

The colors were glorious...

This haunted house was quite elaborate-the house talks to the tree, and those eyeballs move, as does the tree's lips and eyes. They even speak in English!

The rides looked scary- but the teens were enjoying them..

I used to love the swing rides at carnivals like this- but this one was a little over the top. See the video of this ride at the bottom!!

Another beautiful evening in Prague!
