The day was not so much about contemporary art as the ancient city.
I did a walking tour of the old centre and the Prague Castle.
It is a spectacular place with amazing and in tact Gothic architecture.
The cathedral in the castle is quite something. The courtyards that surrounmd it
Lead to offices of the president and staff and it was a strange feeling to be such
A seat government, that showed so many centuries of life and experience.
The Jewish quarter is also the site of a dirrernt syle of architecture and feels
More like a place in Paris. A great numbers of jews fromhere died in the 2nd world war, way out
Of proportion to the population.
Much of this part of Europe is getting ready to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the falling
Of the Berlin Wall and the end of communism and that is an interesting thing to be part of.
