Irenka Mickova

These are for you Irenka!
I don't know why the colors appear so washed our on here?

I found myself in Deuteronomy yesterday in Church...not that it's what he was talking about at the time, but it's where my eyes wandered to, specifically Deuteronomy 6:24. It's really been on my heart, especially while I'm here in a predominant atheist country, to be on my guard and ready to give the answer behind my Faith. I have always believed what Deut 6:24 says, but I was so glad to find a verse that said it, so it isn't my own words.

"So the LORD commanded us to observe all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God for our good always and for our survival, as it is today."

It's not that God just wants us to follow His rules just because, but because He wants the absolute best for us, and knows that the only way for that is through Him. I feel like this goes right along with all of Romans 8, that our promise as believers goes beyond just knowing we'll spending eternity in Heaven when we die, but who He promises to be for us while we're here on earth!
If I was asked, who is Jesus to me? He is the provider of Hope in situations when it doesn't make sense, and Peace that passes understanding. He has loved and forgiven me, and shows me how to do this to others. Most importantly, He is my comforter and source of strength in daily situations. This is what He wants for us, to be unconditionally loved, and again the only way for this is through Him.

Well today was just wonderful! I guess it's a sign of a good trip when every day beats the previous? [except for the day Khal left, that was very sad]I got up and went out with my camera and my new scarf :) with no real directions. I started off with Coffee Heaven for a Chai Latte, which has Texas beat by far, sorry Starbucks...After taking pictures, I met up with Irenka and Zach, who bought us roses, for Church, then went with Court to watch James Bond with her padre. I would say my "theme" for photos of the day, was families. Czech out captions for more...

(the timeline of the pictures is from bottom to top)
















I didn't get the name of the band, but they were set up in Old Town Square, jamming out for the tourists haha





Artist in Old Town Square, by the way he was facing I think he was sketching the clock tower

I was so happy to find this place, I probably spent 30 minutes in here. The owner has had this shop for about 11 years, and he speaks perfect English, he even let me bargain a little! I'll be coming back here for sure...

I won't complain if anyone wants to get me a camera like this, ok great.

Mom, this is what I wanted to buy you. Turns out I'm a poor college student?

Kinda creepy, but I thought it was funny :)

I love these bikes! This little courtyard was gated in, but I walked over to see these bikes and ended up finding the neatest store! The door in the left of the picture is the entrance...

Through this walkway is the fenced in courtyard where I found a hole-in-the-wall antique store!



My fave of the day :)

Transporter, anyone? I think I see Handsome Rob behind the wheel.







Euro dog, gross...but they do have excellent mulled vine (spiced wine)!

The famous black babies with the barcodes for faces. I'll have to get back to you on the artist's name...



It was soo cold, but we didn't have enough time to go back to our flat before our museum tour, so we got come coffee, served with sparkling water (?), and people watched through a window haha

Lennon Wall...we'll have to go back and shine it, was didn't have any sharpies...

One the hour, the clock in Old Town Square has two little windows open and the statues of the 12 apostles go by while skeleton rings a bell, then a rooster crows...I know there is some significance to the skeleton, but I can't remember :)

Street named of Kranz Fafka, famous Prague writer.


If you look to the right of the narrow pink building, you can see how there used to be arches there. This was where a bomb was dropped by the German army, as a scare tactic to show they could pinpoint exactly where they wanted to send a bomb.
I think this was the most pretty building from the tour. Mozart had one of his symphonies premier here (thought I don't remember which one)
