To kick off the holiday season, we celebrated Thanksgiving by going out. Although we certainly missed everyone back home, we enjoyed a fine turkey dinner at the Intercontinental Hotel's rooftop restaurant. The view of Old Town is terrific from the restaurant and dinner was the norm. Well sort of: we only had one serving of everything...
On Saturday the annual Christmas Market opened in Old Town Square. It's quite the event. There are food vendors, drink vendors, and plenty of Czech crafts for sale. Consequently we've been frequenting the square this week to dine al fresco on sausages, mulled wine, Prague ham, hot mead, and trdelnik (delicious pastries). Other highlights from last weekend include a couple museum excursions (Mucha Museum & the Museum of Medival Art) and a concert at the Spanish Synagogue. After several great weeks here at home, we're hitting the road this weekend. We're off to Normandy to rendezvous with Jeff & Naomi York. Until next week, here are a few photos from the Christmas Market. Cheers.
