Live from Prague

The Tirando Cobre team has officially landed in Prague! It's just after 6 a.m., and my crew and I are headed out to Charles Bridge and the Prague Castle, the two biggest sights here. Yesterday we walked around New Town and Old Town, saw the astronomical clock and a cathedral lit up at night. There's something around every corner here, and we've been easily walking through the city. It's mostly pedestrian areas, so few cars are a nice change from pretty much everywhere except Venice.

Before I go, yesterday we also walked around the Jewish neighborhood and wandered into a handful of synagogues. The history from the Holocaust haunts the area: The names of 80,000 persecuted Jews line the walls of Pinkas Synagogue, while a chilling cemetary houses 300 years of Jews.

That's all for now, I'll check in again soon.
