Tom and Faye, my friends from Sri Lanka, have been traveling around africa and the middle east since december, and now they are in europe. It was fun to meet up with them after so many months and even better to meet in europe!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3prb11kNV1w/RkRNCEk58kI/AAAAAAAAAG8/I5vfMGGyBE4/s1600-h/IMGP4499.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3prb11kNV1w/RkRNCEk58kI/AAAAAAAAAG8/I5vfMGGyBE4/s400/IMGP4499.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5063256579054891586" border="0" /></a>Old Town Walk: Small streets are the norm in old town.

With that eing said, I am very happy to have moved on from Sri Lanka and to arrive in Prague. The weather was been cool and mild in the 60-70s and it has been great to be back in civilization!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3prb11kNV1w/RkRK4Ek58fI/AAAAAAAAAGU/Rfl1tg66ELM/s1600-h/IMGP4460.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3prb11kNV1w/RkRK4Ek58fI/AAAAAAAAAGU/Rfl1tg66ELM/s400/IMGP4460.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5063254208232944114" border="0" /></a>Downtown Prague - It is a very clean city with a wonderful combination of old buildings and modern infrastructure.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3prb11kNV1w/RkRK4Uk58gI/AAAAAAAAAGc/2X-eNw1hLu8/s1600-h/IMGP4463.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3prb11kNV1w/RkRK4Uk58gI/AAAAAAAAAGc/2X-eNw1hLu8/s400/IMGP4463.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5063254212527911426" border="0" /></a>Mmm...Prague Sausage!
