St. Nicholas' Cathedral (#1)
Saturday, October 01, 2005
This morning we went to visit St. Nicholas' Cathedral in Prague. Apparently there are TWO St. Nicholas' Cathedrals in Prague. The guidebook says that the one we visited is the more ornate one of the two. They weren't kidding! There was no shortage of marble and gold to feast the eyes upon. Lydia was awestruck and quickly noticed the echo of her voice in the cathedral which didn't exactly lend itself to the quiet reverence normally observed in cathedrals. Good thing she's SO darn cute! (ok, maybe I'm a little biased...). As we were leaving the cathedral, Brandon did a double take and stopped dead in his tracks. Hhuuuuuhhhh? "Did I just see A TOWER TO CLIMB?!?!?", he exclaimed. Only 212 steps and $2 per person? Count the Verbrugge Family in! It was a beautiful day, which meant a beautiful view of the city... well worth the effort, plus theoretically I can say I exercised today... :-)
