B&E Photography: Prague

Prague is a wonderfully preserved European city. It has a lot to offer from great food, local markets, and beautiful landmarks.

One such food was the insanely tasty Trdelnik: sweet dough wrapped around a buttery wooden pole, rotated over an open flame, cinnamon and sugar continually dusted, then cooked til golden brown. The final product was a crispy cinnamon twist that just about melted in your mouth. Combining that with a drinking hot chocolate, food coma's became very common.

As we walked the beautiful streets of downtown Prague, we were fortunate enough to come across the Estates Theatre built in 1783. That evening was a performance, so, donning our best clothes, we made like the locals and attended our first opera. This famous opera house once featured Mozart and is the last opera house in the world left standing where he once performed. Symphony music and operatic voices filled the night and soothed our hearts.

With street lights and the moon twinkling over the river and the Prague President's castle silhouetted in the background, we finished the night eating an amazing dinner with a world-class view. The best part of it is that our money goes so much further here. A dinner of like location and quality in the US would have cost much, much more. It was a great way to end our time in a beautiful city of rich history and class.
