August 9, 2013. Day 3 in Prague. Up early and off to the Castle...well there and a few other places.
My friend Jeanne really wanted to see the Infant of Prague (I guess it is a big deal in the Catholic church) and hey we are in Prague, so we made sure she got to see it...unfortunately, pictures were not allowed, but she was happy anyway :)
Up the street from the church with the Infant is the Church of St. Nicholas. This is a beautiful Baroque church...hard to put into words how beautiful, but luckily pictures say a lot...the first pictures were taken on the walk up to the Church...

Once we looked at the Church of St. Nicholas we decided to head up to the Prague Castle (you can see the spires of St. Vitus Church in the background...they are part of the castle grounds). Needless to say...the castle is up a few stairs so here are some pictures along that walk...
