Limehouse, London, UK.

It's Thanksgiving Day in gloomy Limehouse Marina today and the Admiral and I have just returned from a short jaunt to the fair city of Prague. Most enjoyable it was too and even the weather decided to cooperate but it was very cold.
We did all usual touristy things and there is a lot to see in a few days. We found Prague to be an almost fairytale kind of a city where everything works. Even though Prague is ancient, all is in good repair, the public transport is efficient and easy to use. Everyone was helpful and friendly and almost all spoke excellent English.
Highlights were the old town square with it's famous astronomical clock and ornate churches and of course the beer.
It's easy to walk every where in the old city and the architecture is truly impressive. On our second day we walked over the Charles Bridge to St Vitus'  Cathedral and the castle on a freezing cold crystal clear day. There were still plenty of tourists and one could only imagine how crowded this place must be in July.
We got a quick injection of culture at the State Opera House and enjoyed Verdi's Macbeth. I even managed to stay awake for the whole performance.
Oh, and did I mention the beer.
We will celebrate Thanksgiving with Ben and Jessica and the babies tomorrow and we wish all of you a very happy turkey day in the USA.
