October 5, 2012--Just Pure Fun!





October 5, 2012

Day 3 in Prague was great.  We began our day by rising early so that we could take a Segway tour of Prague.  While it was a bit chilly at times, we all loved it.  The Segways were easy to operate and a great way to get up the hills in Prague.  Our tour guide for the day was Stan (note the picture below with K & S).  We went up to the castle where the President of the Czech Republic now resides.  We saw the changing of the guards and several incredible views of Prague.  We also stopped at a number of other points, but because I was trying not to run into anyone, Stan had my camera.  For a while, he was a tour guide and a photographer.  I try to avoid being in pictures, but that it hard to do if someone else has your camera.

Later in the day, we walked back up to the castle.  Some of these pictures are mine and some of them were taken by Stan.
