more prague

these pictures were all taken on sunday. we only had a few hours before our train back to vienna but we still managed to see lots including the area which was one of europe's most important jewish communities (until most of it was destroyed in the 19th century). there remain six synagogues, a cemetery and the jewish town hall. there is also a national jewish museum which houses more than 40,000 works of art and 100,000 documents. the queue to go inside the museum was HUGE! i really want to go back to prague already. there is so much more to explore.
