Back in Prague



Prague Part two was and Friday, the tour started in New Town. I don't remember the dates but it isn't new just newer then old town. Kind of like the new testament. It's  old, but the old testament is older.  Of Course our guide showed us a statue and told us who it was, I don't remember. He showed us another statue this time the horse was hanging upside down. The artist wanted people to remember the statue so he changed things up a bit. His plan worked well, I think I will always remember the statue, unfortunately I haven't the foggiest as to who it is that’s on the horse nor the sculptures' name. Both of which facts were heard, acknowledged, then silently forgotten. He showed us the oldest synagogue in Europe in the Jewish quarter of the city. There is also a graveyard their with graves buried on top of others some grave sites have seven people buried their, one on top of the other. This is because sometime during the dark ages this was the only cemetery in the city.. We got to the end of our tour and got back on the buss . Friday we road got into Poland, Saturday morning we crossed into Ukraine, back through Lviv, into Kiev.
