Lisa at Telc

Our first stop in the Czech Republic was in this cool town called Telc which is pronounced "Telch."  The interesting thing about this town is they paint all the buildings.  The painting technique is the source of the word "graffiti." Above is Lisa on the main street in Telc.

This one was really cool as the paint design was really intricate.  You can't really tell from this photo.


Plague statue

We saw a few of these type of monuments.  The towns put them up as thanks for the plague not wiping them out.

Famous bridge in Prague

Ok, so now we are in Prague.  This famous bridge is called Charles Bridge and it crosses the Vltava River.  It has statues all along it.  You can see some of them in this photo.
