Prague

Ah, Prague.  What a charming and fantastic city.  I know my words cannot do justice to how wonderful this city is, so I hope these pictures will suffice.

Prague Castle.  St. Vitus Cathedral is in the center.

The rose window.

The nave of St. Vitus Cathedral.

The Chapel of St. Wenceslaus

And his skull.

View of Prague from the Old Royal Palace.

Franz Kafka's residence on the Golden Lane.

So many Barbies.

 There are just no words.

Why?

Star Wars!

Dun dun dun.

Night Fever

Okay, so I wasn't going to post any pictures for this chapter since most of it takes place in the hotel room or at the doctor's office.  But since Max asked for pictures, here we go.

This is otitis media, more commonly known as an ear infection.

I know.  It's gross and looks like a red lima bean.

Sarah goes into full nurse mode in this chapter.  Since I'm such a nice person, I give you this to cleanse your palate from the above picture.

Following Sarah Walker... erm, Bartowski

My friend, Henry, just returned from a trip to Amsterdam.  While he was there, he visited, and took pictures of, some of the places the Bartowskis went.  I'm beyond thrilled.  These pictures are so great, I have to share them with you.

Leidseplein.

The Bulldog Coffeeshop on the Leidseplein.

P.C. Hooftstraat, the street the Buy More is on.

 "If you hit Louis Vuitton, you've gone too far."

The Mothership.

The fountain in front of the Amsterdam American Hotel.

The front of "Bulldog's"shirt.

A bicycle ready for the canal.

Grote Maikel's favorite place to eat.

And Casey's favorite place to eat.

The Bloemenmarkt - The Floating Flower Market. I think this is just so cool.

"There are like five different kinds of red tulips."

Red Riding Hood Tulips.

I think this place needs no introduction.

Lunch at Restaurant ANNA

Again, I'd like to thank Henry for taking these great pictures.  I'm glad I was able to help him with his sightseeing.

Berlin & the Opera

Sightseeing in Berlin.

The Siegessäule (Victory Column)

Brandenburger Tor (Brandenburg Gate)

With and without the Wall.

Where the Wall once stood.

The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe (also known as the Holocaust Memorial).

Checkpoint Charlie today from the American Sector.

 "Casey's dad" on duty in 1963.  Notice the sandbags in front of the the building.

 To dinner and the opera.

 Sarah's Tiffany earrings                                            Chuck's Cartier Watch

The hotel restaurant

The Komische Oper Berlin

The famous "Queen of the Night" aria from The Magic Flute.

Even if you think you don't like opera, you should really watch this video. Diana Damrau's vocal abilities will knock your socks off.
