Lennon Wall - we finally found it!

The Lennon wall, as it is known, is listed as a tourist attraction in Prague. Once a normal wall, since the 1980s it has been filled with John Lennon-inspired graffiti , pieces of lyrics from songs, and poetry.

In 1988, the wall was a source of irritation for the communists and eventually led to a clash between hundreds of students and security police on the nearby Charles Bridge.

The wall continuously undergoes change and the original portrait of Lennon is long lost under layers of new paint. Even when the wall was repainted by some authorities, on the second day it was again full of poems and flowers.

This wall is not on a main street, and we went looking for it a few weeks ago. Of course we didn't have a map, and so did not find it. But - yesterday we were in that neighborhood and decided to try again.

After leaving the wall, we found this interesting sight.. Not sure of the significance of the locks on these bars, but it was kind of pretty, and as the ledge beneath it says "It's a kind of magic."
