In Which We Go to Prague

Susan and I decided to take advantage of the long weekend and take a trip to Prague. It was truly marvelous. 

We saw all the sights, including Jeff Goldblum and Fisher Stevens (#5 is ALIVE!). We ate freshly made pasta and homemade bread, incredible Mexican food, crispy duck leg, and, of course, lots of sausage and goulash. We went on a ghost tour during which we learned about very many fake ghosts. And we purchased like a million pounds of salami to bring home with us.  

All in all, it was a gigantic success despite the weather, which tried to kill us (going from 68 degrees to 28 degrees was quite the shock to our systems). Some pictures, to make you jealous, er, commemorate the trip:
