The day is brighter and dry!  A great day for walking and photos.  This photo shows a memorial to student Jan Palach who committed suicide by self immolation (setting himself on fire) to protest the Soviet occupation of Czechoslovakia in 1969.  This is a very subtle memorial.  I had to google it to find out what it was.

This city has stunning architecture.  I can imagine these buildings when they were built.  Such opulence and grandeur.

We ended up doing something our guide from yesterday told us not to do.  Go to the Charles Bridge in the middle of the day!  Prague in August is something!

We bumped into our Chilean train compartment-mates twice today and once yesterday.  There are thousands of people in this city.  How weird is it that we see them so often 🙂

Our wandering took us to the John Lennon Wall.  A wall we knew nothing about until today.  Here is some info Wikipedia kindly provided.

The Lennon Wall or John Lennon Wall, is a wall in Prague, Czech Republic. Once a normal wall, since the 1980s it has been filled withJohn Lennon-inspired graffiti and pieces of lyrics from Beatles’ songs.

We happened upon this outdoor food court just after the Lennon Wall.  Sooo many good things cooking.  They have beer and wine stands as well.  You find a “standup” table and enjoy your lunch!

We have seen similar sites in other European cities, but this is the biggest collection we have seen.  Hundreds of pad locks locked to the railing here near the Lennon Wall.  The deal is this – lovers pledge their love, lock the lock and toss the key into the water
