vijftien

I've been unpacking the past week and not doing much of note, so I figure I'll post one more Prague picture.

This was on our first day there. We walked around a bit and climbed a church tower to see the view and get our bearings. The church we were at was St. Nicholas in Lesser Town (not to be confused with either of the other two St. Nicholas churches in the city). This view is facing east, toward Charles Bridge (Karlov Most; where the crowd is) and Old Town.

As we were leaving the viewing deck, walking down the tower stairs, we heard music that seemed to be coming from the church (which the guidebook said was beautiful inside). We tried to investigate, but the church was closed. But if we wanted to come back in an hour, we could pay $10 and see a performance of Mozart's Requium inside. So that is indeed what we did.
