Praha

These are some pictures from our trip to Prague, 24-27 May 2002. It was dark and rainy most of the time, so these pictures don't do justice to the beautiful city.

   Detail on St. Vitus' Cathedral. If you look closely at this and the next picture, you may be able to see the excellent gutter system (it was pouring down rain at the time). Water collected on the roof poured out of the gargoyles' mouths. Unfortunately, I think this is one of those great sites that can't be captured on film (or electrons) very easily.
