• Beautiful Budapest

  

  Since we were staying in Budapest for three nights, we booked an apartment rather than a hotel. Located on the Pest side of the Danube River, our apartment had two bedrooms, a lounge with a flat screen TV, dining area, kitchen, two bathrooms, and a washing machine and drying rack. On long trips, it’s nice…

• Eat Sleep Drink: Paris

  

  In early May, Rick and I spent two days in Paris before heading to Amsterdam. As we’ve been to Paris numerous times, we decided to skip museum visits and simply enjoy being in our favorite part of the city, the Latin Quarter (5th arrondissement). Traffic getting from Orly airport to our hotel was challenging due…

• Picturesque Prague (Part Two)

  

  After tasting several delicious beers at the Strahov Monastery Brewery, we headed to the impressive Prague Castle (Pražský hrad). Built in the 9th century, it is the official office of the President of the Czech Republic. Occupying an area of almost 750,000 square feet (70,000 square meters), it is the largest castle in the world. It…

• Picturesque Prague (Part One)

  

  Since Rick and I both have Czech and Bohemian roots, visiting Prague was a high priority on our “wish list” of places to see. Located on the Vltava river, it is the largest city and capital of the Czech Republic and the historical capital of Bohemia. Prague is home to about 1.3 million people and receives between 6 and…
