Why Do We Call Praha Prague?

Wouldn't it make more sense to call it what the natives do? You're very welcome for that observation, it's on the house!

Dan & I are in Praha, and while we're absolutely enjoying it it will probably not end up on our top 5 cities. We've had some trouble getting around, and since our hotel is outside of the main city area it only has further complicated things. Praha is beautiful architecturally speaking. The churches, cathedrals, plalces, bridges--all of them are stunning and unique.

Yesterday we went on a walking tour of the Praha Palace and St. Vitis Cathedral which was okay. Actually, I should clarify, the castle and cathedral were spectacular, the tour wasn't as spectacular however. We did meet a nice young man from Toronto who we went out to dinner and visited with, Todd. He was a pleasure to get to know, and gave us some great advice about our travels since he travels through Europe for months at a time for work.

I haven't had the chance to update about our last afternoon in Berlin; however that post will be more of a rant due to our visit to the Altes Museum. I'll save most of it for later, suffice it to say that inspite my love of museums and the fact that I got to see one of the most famous Egyptian artifacts of all time I (actually, we both should be included in this statement) was horrified and sorely disappointed in the museum on a whole. When I have a real computer to update on, instead of the iPhone, my desire--nay, my need--to rant will be satisfied, I assure you.

Now, I must draw this post to a close.

Dan & I are going to have a Biblestudy and take it fairly easy as today is a double Sabbath. And as my mother-in-law has requested I draw to my dear reader's attention, we keep the Sabbath as a day of rest, which on this exausting adventure is especially appreciated. The Sabbath, for anyone not acquainted with our beliefs, is a blessing of rest for the 24 hour period of the 7th day--beginning Friday at sunset and continuing through Saturday until sunset. We do no work and use it as a time of rejuvination and focus on the Lord. Today also happens to be a high day (Holy Day), Yom Kippur, or the Day of Atonement so it is a double Sabbath. Dan and I have no qualms enjoying God's amazing creation on His Sabbaths, so we will take today, and every Friday night at sunset through Saturday at sunset to take it a bit easier and focus on Him and this amazing blessing He has given us.
