Prague, Czech Republic

Driven by our flight arrangements, we spent an afternoon and evening in Prague before having to return home. Upon arrival, it was clear that this was a great injustice, as Prague has to be one of the most beautiful and lively downtown areas I have ever walked. Still, we got to enjoy a taste of Prague, and for what it's worth, below are a few pictures captured during our very brief time there.

Czech Republic, boasting one of the highest per capita beer consumption rates in the world,
also features a brand known as "Budweiser" (brewed by Budejovicky Budvar), maintaining a legal
battle with the familiar United States based Anheuser-Busch Company.

Speaking of which, after much walking, it was time to enjoy a cold beer at one of Prague's many outdoor venues.

A few signs for the confused tourist.

Finishing off the evening with an excellent dinner at Golden Wells Hotel's fabulous roof top restaurant.
