This morning started like most with breakfast at a street corner cafe with delicious Italian coffee. We were on a quest to find the John Lennon wall not sure of its exact location we circled the block twice before coming upon the wall. Singer John Lennon's ideas gave many locals ambition prior to the Czech independence in the early 90's.
We wandered through the Mala Strana up to Prague Castle and the palace gardens. Perched on a hill the views of the city spanned for miles. The ancient architecture was worth the hike. Seeking out a less crowded area of Prague, we ventured further to the Strahov Monastery where we had riggatoni with panchetta Italian pasta and more of the same Czech beer. Our view overlooked the whole city where the red rooftops, churches and monuments sprawled into the countryside.
The night started at a micro brewery close to our hostel. The beers and liquors were cheap, 20-30 kc and the place was full of people. They featured a giraffe beer which was 4 liters tall. If David's tolerance was higher we would have indulged. Fully satiated we walked downtown to Atmosphere, where upon arrival we challenged two other Americans to a game of foosball. Several more drinks were consumed before the walk back in the rain. approached on every corner by men wielding discount cards to various strip clubs. We politely declined the offers.
