First week

I had my first chance to do some touristy things today, which also gave me a chance to take some more pictures.  We went on a tour of Jewish Prague, which was very, very interesting and sad.  I also went to see the opera Carmen tonight, which was well done but didn't much appeal to me, unfortunately.
My Czech classes are continuing and I can count to 999, as well as ask for the check and apologize for running into people.  Coming up are tours of Old Town and Prague Castle, and then class starts on Monday!  Here are some pictures from today:

Tyn Cathedral in Old Town Square

The Astronomical Clock in Old Town Square

A very bizarre statue of Franz Kafka...

The cemetery for members of the Jewish ghetto in Prague during the Nazi occupation

And lastly, a picture of the main NYU building right next to Old Town Square

And all of the pictures are up here, if you want to see more: http://s391.photobucket.com/albums/oo356.johninprague/John%20in%20Prague/

This city looks absolutely gorgeous. And that statue of Kafka looks fittingly terrifying.
