The Czech people are not confrontational at least in modern times. We started our day in Wenceslas Square. Remember the Christmas song about Good King Wenceslas. The important event that happened in this reasonably ugly and very, very commercial street, was the beginning and pretty much end of the Velvet Revolution. It was here that hundreds of thousands of protesters gathered to shake their keys at the communist party. The jangling must have been so loud and scary that the party packed up their bags and left.
While walking the streets, peering into the shops, filled with tacky crystal and shiny garnets, we witnessed the tow of shame. Watch the video below and see it all first hand!
Friday till Sunday we will be off to Cesky Krumlov a purely medieval town and castle with a romantic winding river. The girls just decided though that today would be a wonderful day to go on a paddle boat for two ride around the Valtav River. I certainly hope this trip doesn't become too bloggable. Think, "Wayward American Tourist Crash Paddle Boat into Charles Bridge!"
