Dogs in Class, and the Easter Market

I had a good class yesterday, and made a couple of more networking connections to interesting nonprofits. There were two dogs that came to class with their owners. Dogs go everywhere here…restaurants, metro, trams, and (now I know) university.

Today we went to the Easter Market at Old Town Square and Vaclav Square. Many food and craft stalls are set up in the Squares. There are horse-drawn carriages showing tourists the town. There is a stage set up in Old Town Square so there will be presentations sometime, but I have not heard what they will be, or when. The Market continues until Easter Weekend. So far, all I’ve purchased are two corn husk dolls.

We had lunch at the Café Louvre, opened in 1902 and frequented by Einstein. It has a game room, “in the old café tradition”, with billiard tables and chess games. After lunch we took the funicular for the beautiful view. We’re planning a dinner near Old Town Square before they take the night train back.
