Last Day in Prague

January 5th
The girls and I walked back to the Old Town Square to look for Mrs. Fanta's house. Big shout out to the Greenbergs. Mrs. Fanta was Ann Greenberg's grandmother. She entertained a number of important people in this house, including Albert Einstein.
Here's the house:
And here's a closeup of the plaque:

After finding the Fanta residence, we decided to tour the castle! (in case you haven't realized, you can't walk two feet in Europe without tripping over a castle, palace or cathedral) In order to get to the castle, we need to cross the river. Here are some pics from Charles Bridge crossing the Vltava River. 

 




And here is ye old castle:
The castle houses a "fuge" church.



The glass work is spectacular. I took pictures of several other windows, but they all came out kinda fuzzy. Below are pictures of the view from the top of one of the church towers. And let me tell you it was mighty cold up there - but definitely worth it!
