Charles Bridge

I'm now back home from my trip to Prague. I had some trouble creating posts the last few days in Prague and then had to deal with a week of jet lag. What will now follow for a while will be the after affects of my trip.

The Charles Bridge spans the Vltava River in Prague and was built in 1357. There are about 28 statues located along both sides. The first was a crucifix constructed in 1683. This bridge was the site of the last battle of the Thirty Years’ War in 1648. Today, people stroll leisurely across the bridge and the only fighting I saw was between the seagulls and the pigeons.
