The museum also has some extraordinary textiles, including a knitted lace handkerchief and bobbin lace. (Photographing these was nearly impossible because of the low overall lighting, the glass cases and the spot lighting.)
We don't have pictures (because of the lighting) of the Art Deco jewelry and traditional Czech garnet jewelry and decorative cast iron ware. You'll just have to visit on your own.
Street food is not too common in Prague, except for ice cream and, in Wenceslas Square, sausages. Several of these sausage stands flank the square and sell sausages from early in the morning to well past midnight. A large sausage on a roll or with a piece of rye bread costs about $2, and a Coke, Fanta or bottle of water is about $1.50. Taking photos of the sausage stands is not welcome; one reason may be that they supposedly are owned by the Russian Mafia. Russian Mafia or no, the sausages are excellent.

Dear Sue and Mike,
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that you had such a good time in The Baltics and Eastern Europe.
Makes us nostalgic. We'd love to See Lithuania now afer a few more years of development.
Love the lace!
We'd like to see you soon and hear about it in person.
