[Leica] [OM] IMG: Prague at night

[boulanger.croissant at gmail.com (Peter Klein)]

Glad you folks liked those shots. Thanks! Nathan, I'm grateful that you 
warned us about the Old Town price gouging. We found that if we looked 
for eating places on quiet streets just outside the touristy area, all 
was well.

Phillipe, we had planned to go to the Estates Theatre, which claims to 
be the only theatre building still standing in which Mozart performed.  
He conducted the premier of Don Giovanni there. Unfortunately, we both 
came down with respiratory infections on what should have been our last 
day in Prague. So we missed the theatre, along with Wenceslas Square and 
a couple of other points around there.  Hopefully next time.

We saw the astronomical clock.  The building is being renovated or 
cleaned, so the clock is currently surrounded by ugly scaffolding and tarps.
