Prague day 4 - a day of leisure

Dancing House
National Gallery

Today we slept in since we had a late night of discussing French politics. Their choices doesn't sound any better than ours. Ever the ambitious tourist, Elaine got up and walked to the dancing building to take some photos of Frank Gehry's design. Then we ventured off to check out the exterior of the National Gallery and Wenceslas Square to do some shopping and to have lunch. Missing home we went to the food court where I decided to get a McDonald's cheeseburger. I was tempted to try the fresh cheeseburger but decided on the original. Shopping for me wasn't too successful but Teresa made up for our lack success. In the evening we headed to the state opera to see Verdi's Rigoletto. The opera was very good except I was a bit tired and I might have napped a bit during the first act. Oops! However I was very alert for the last two! Then we headed for supper at Mlynec, where the chef has earned a michelin star, for a three course dinner. Please see my next post on the foods from the past couple days.
