48 Hours in Prague

Prague is often referred to as the city with a 100 spires. It is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe.  

This week we traveled to Prague for our bi-annual senior conference. An opportunity to be taught from our mission president and learn from other senior couples serving in the same mission. There are three new couples who recently arrived. One couple arrived just last Saturday.

We are growing! A year ago there were only four sister badges.

Our conference began at the mission home with a delicious traditional summer meal prepared by Sister Pohořelická. Meat and vegetables on a stick, fried breaded cauliflower, and green salad.

We enjoyed the company of couples native to Czech Republic, New Zealand, Canada, Australia, and the United States. 

Each companionship presented a brief introduction and their mission assignment.

In the Czech Slovak mission, we are blessed with diverse and experienced individuals who have overcome many difficult trials and challenges who are willing to leave their home and family to serve the Lord.

As a group, we traveled the underground subway and walked through the streets of historic old town Prague. We climbed steep stairs to the top of Klementinum tower to find fantastic views. 

Prague is gorgeous. It is well preserved and steeped in history, culture, and charm. We are always happy for a return trip. It's no wonder it is called the European Jewel.

When you walk, don't forget to look up. There are so many  amazing detailed architecture buildings everywhere you go. Can you spot any iconic sites or landmarks? 

We are off to the chocolate making tour at the Choco-Story chocolate museum in old town.

Where a choclatier demonstrated how to work with chocolate and then turned us loose to create our own custom bars. One thing is certain, we are loving some dark chocolate.
