Yesterday was another beautiful day in Prague, very sunny and nice. We headed downtown after breakfast and went to the Museum of Communism. Ironically located next to a McDonald’s today, it documented the rise and fall of Communism both all around the world and locally. It was a lot of artifacts that didn’t see to be particularly famous but helped illustrate what life was like during those times. They had stuff from schools and homes and even the police. After that, we went to the Jewish Museum. It’s actually about 5 or 6 different buildings that you can buy one ticket for. Most of the buildings are synagogues, but they’re currently set up more like a museum. They have old books and artifacts in cases all over. There was one synagogue that was still somewhat set up like a synagogue, the Spanish synagogue. There was also an awesome cemetery with over 12,000 graves dating back to the 15th century I think. Very very interesting. Then we got lunch at one of those outdoor markets again. Delicious and pretty cheap. After lunch, we just wandering around several big parks. There is supposed to be a big wall of graffiti dedicated to John Lennon, but we couldn’t find it, so we just ended up people watching for a while. Prague is a great city and very fun, but 2 days was definitely enough time to see it.
I’m flying out to Amsterdam tonight, and I’m not sure what my Internet situation will be like there.
