Prague consists of four main towns. The Old Town is called Stare Mesto and was founded in 1230. The Old town consists the Rudolfinum Concert Hall. Charles University and an old Astronomical Clock include the main attractions. The New Town, Nove Mesto, is also on the same side of the Vltava River and is home to the National Museum and Wenceslas Square.
On the other side of the river is the Little Quarter, Mala Stana. This is where we are staying and is close to our embassy. It is also has the famous Charles bridge. The fourth town is called Hradcany or Prague Castle.
This morning, our landlord left us a basket of breakfast food at our door and it was very nice and it started our day on a nice note.
We began the day by crossing the Charles Bridge and going over to the Old Town, where there are a lot of shops and restaurants. There are so many restaurants and pubs here, you just can't imagine. The people are very proud of the fact that their beer is the best in the world. This is where Pilsner beer began.
We took the Metro, under the Vltava River over to the Prague Castle and had a wonderful time touring and seeing the sights, looking down on the beautiful city.
Here are a couple of photos that we took today, of the river and sights looking down on the city.
Weather has been perfect and we are really fortunate on that note.
Tomorrow, we are planing on taking a small cruise on the Vltava River.
Regards,
Marc & Anita

Great photo! Sounds like you are having fun. Please drink a Pilsner for me.
These photo's seem like post cards! Are you sure they are not post cards?
Reading your detailed notes, it seems to be in the heart of Prague just like you!
Thank you for letting us know your experience.
