I admit to having a\u00a0fascination with the city of Prague. So much so that I spend a lot of time wandering around this delightful city, looking at the architecture, the layout of the streets,\u00a0the parks, the churches, the statues. I am curious about name changes over the past century; i.e. bridges, metro stations, squares. I have found myself wondering what this city was\u00a0actually\u00a0like “long ago”. There are so many layers of history here, and I want to “see” it all.<\/p>\n
