Easter Monday here in Europe is a big day for everyone. In the Old Town Square they had activities for the children along with an Easter egg hunt. On the stage were various performers of all ages singing. Everything and everyone quite festive.

A Trdelnik is a traditional Czech pastry. Filled with either chocolate or ice cream it is sugar richness. And messy. But oh so good. After rolling out the dough, they cut it into strips. They wrap the strips around long poles and roast them over an open flame, sprinkle with sugar and then fill them. Wherever these were sold, the lines were always long.

We spent our last day walking Wenceslas Square. The day was sunny, with a touch of crispness in the air. We had lunch in one of the outdoor cafes. There we sat and watched the people go by enjoying the sunshine. And we had another delicious Czech meal. The red cabbage melted in your mouth. It reminded me so much of my grandmothers. I told the waiter that and he was most appreciative.

I loved Prague. Again, the people wanted to know if we loved their city. And we assured them we did, and we would be back. As our plane took off over the nighttime lights, we looked at each other, smiled and said, “two broke kids.”
