Prague Part II

After our Prague Castle trip, we treated ourselves to wine and snacks at the apartment where Lois and  Joyce are staying.  Great to just chill out a bit and regroup.  We had booked a Vivaldi concert at at nearby St. Clements Cathedral for 7:00.  The concert was magnificent in this lovely cathedral.  We had nearly front row seats and could see all the performers.  We heard Bach, Hayden, Schubert, Vivaldi and many others.


  Snack time and a cooling off and recharge time.


Prague Castle complex, St. Vitas Cathedral





St. Clements Cathedral where we had concert.


St. Clements is a Greek Catholic cathedral with
a cherub theme.  We couldn't begin to capture
all the lovely cherub sculptures throughout the 
building.  The acoustics are reported to be some 
of the best in all of Prague.


After finishing dinner, we wanted to experience the Charles Bridge at night.  We were delighted to see one of our concert performers playing along the bridge.  We told him we had just seen the concert, so he played several beautiful songs just for us!   We were smitten for sure.  Actually purchased one of his CDs.  It  was a magical finish to a long, exhausting day.
