Things We Never Expected to See in Prague

April 12, 2011 - You know, we live in Music City U.S.A.  It's not unusual to see Faith Hill and Tim McGraw or Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban in a restaurant or grocery store just like the rest of us.  So, why is it that when we are in Europe we are always surprised by some of the things we see.  Yesterday was one of those days.  We saw:

• the Presidential Guard Band parade through the Castle grounds completely catching our guide off-guard.
• a couple of groups of Czech students in concert in Old Town Square.
• a Futbol rally parade through Old Town complete with police escorts.
• the number of Museums all over the city
• The Mucha Museum of Art
• The Czech Glass Museum
• The Czech Toy Museum
• The Czech Music Museum
• The National Gallery that houses paintings by Durer, Rembrandt, Rubens and Goya
• The Jewish Museum, comprised of the Old Synagogue, the New Synagogue and the Jewish Cemetery
• The Wax Museum
• The Chocolate Museum (my friend, Linda, would love this place)
• The Torture Museum
• The Sex Machine Museum

Yep, you read that right, the Sex Machine Museum!!!  Although there was that slight moment when we both thought "Why not?", our conscience spoke to both of us and we passed on this one. 

You just never know what you'll come upon in a new city half-way around the world.
