Thanks, Dad!

As I have mentioned before, the idea for this blog came from Dad. He's been blogging since before he and the fam moved to France (www.afreehand.blogspot.com). He has given me lots of great advice on how to post videos and such, and it has made the blog more interesting. Thanks again, Dad!

Erin and the Crossbow

The day we visited the Prague Castle, we wandered for hours. In the attic above the shops of the Golden Alley, Robert found a place with crossbows and targets. Mom and I went in search of target practice. I paid 50 Krowns (about $2.50) to shoot 5 times. It was lots of fun! Initially, Mom and I thought that the guy running the stand had poked holes in the target so I wouldn't feel bad, but upon closer inspection of the video, it appears that I actually hit the target a couple of times! I'm so much deadlier than I thought I was!

Caveman waiter

This is the caveman restaurant that I begged everyone to visit. We sat on giant rocks, ate with our hands, and were sniffed (and coughed on) by the wait-staff. Other than the fact that Mom, Gramma, and I are all sick now, it was lots of fun!


I rolled the dice with the cavewaitress, and because I rolled "an eye", I had to drink something called "unbelievably disgusting hog-wash". Here's how gross it was!

Here is the famous Astrological Clock in the Olde Towne Square, Prague. We saw it many times during our visit, but this was the only time I got to see the "show". Maybe Tim will post his gorgeous daytime photo that he took (hint, hint).

Loose in the streets of Prague!!!!

Here are some more pictures of Prague.

Erin and I on the edge of the Vltava River. The castle is back behind us somewhere in the dark.




Welcome to Prague Castle!



St. Vitus Cathedral in the Prague Castle Grounds. Reputed to be the third largest cathedral in the world!



At night time the gargoyles of St. Vitus shoot laser beams from their eyes as seen in this photograph.
