Prague

This year's Bain annual partner meeting was in Prague in the Czech Republic.  We had "saved" Prague until now - knowing that Dave and I would get to go for the Bain meeting, and we had a great time (so nice that Bain invites spouses to these meetings too sometimes!).  The four days included opportunities for lots of different tours and activities, fitness, wonderful dinners and social events, oh, and, some meetings for Dave!  It was a great weekend, and a bit like a reunion for us to see friends we had known in San Francisco, some of them who are still in SF, and many who have moved to different places like we have.

Our first afternoon in Prague, we went on a short walking tour of the old town just to get oriented.  That evening we went to a formal dinner event.

The famous astronomical clock

The next day while Dave was in meetings, I went on a power walk tour in the morning over the Charles bridge to see the Little Quarter, followed by a city tour including going up the Old Town Hall Tower (the tower with the Astronomical Clock) to get a view of the city.

A giant metronome installed where a statue of Stalin used to stand

 Another day I went to a cooking class at a castle outside the city with several other spouses.  So much fun!

Dave and I went together on an architectural tour of the city, including buildings throughout the city and palace area.

The Singing Fountain in Belvedere Gardens.

(we don't know exactly what "singing" we were supposed to hear!)

On my last full day I went on the Prague Castle tour, seeing St. Vitus' Cathedral and St. George's Convent.  The castle area was huge, and we did a lot of walking, but there are beautiful views down to the old town.
