The other castle, river, and town

Once Mom finally got better, we went to Prague via train from Vienna. Prague was definitely the most touristy place on our trip. The streets of Prague were full of twists and turns, and some were still cobblestoned. Maps didn't help, but we were able to find our way around somehow. The architecture was impressive. Prague was one of those cities that was never bombed during any wars, and so all the buildings are old and "as is". By this time on our trip, I was getting a little bit tired of the castle, river, town theme. We went to the Prague castle, down the main boulevards, and shopping. While we were there, it was Auntie's turn to have a physical ailment. She got a cyst thing in her eye, and had to go to the foreign first aid center. I didn't dish out the money to get absynthe. I did get a budweiser patch for my backpack. It was also very cold
