We finished our last evening in Vienna by walking to a Mexican restaurant Terri had found on Tripadvisor. We can only go so long without Mexican food. Five weeks in Italy and Austria had left us craving our native food, we Mexicans are that way. It turned out to be very good food served by a staff of young Mexican men.

We have always taken trains between cities during the last few months. It was time for a change, so we booked a four hour bus ride into the Czech Republic. There are no fast Czech trains so the quickest way to get to Prague was on a big cross country bus. For the first time in Europe we were stopped at the boarder to have our passports checked because the Czech Republic is not part of the European Union.
By the time we arrived it was dinner time so we asked our AirBnB host for a suggestion for dinner. He recommended a neighborhood Czech place on the corner near our place. I had ribs and mashed peas. Terri have chicken and risotto. We both enjoyed our meals and the tab was only 432 Koruna. That is less than $18.00 US for dinner and drinks.

After dinner we walked around our neighborhood. Tomorrow we will visit old Prague. Here is what we saw within a couple of blocks of our place.

Life is good.....more to come tomorrow.
We have been to Prague but only for one day and then we got the heck out of Dodge! Prague is beautiful but we preferred the smaller cities and towns. I am sure you will enjoy your visit there but I really hope you get to see some of the other areas in Czech Republic. I definitely recommend Kutna Hora and Olomouc. Olomouc has as much to offer as Prague in our opinion but has way less tourists, is cheaper and is very walkable and also lots to see just outside of the city itself as well.
