Prague, Day 2 (part 2)

It was amazing to stand in the Cathedral, looking up at the natural light coming in from the huge windows. The sheer size of the building is crazy.
This is the view of the river from the Charles Bridge.

So many tourists....
After going to the Castle, I went across the Charles Bridge to see a chamber music concert in the Mirror Chapel. They performed works by Bach, Handle, and Vivaldi on period instruments and it was really beautiful. It's a smaller hall, but beautifully built (I would have pictures, but they are very strict about no photos). The performance was very lovely and it was inspiring to see some passionate musicians. Apparently, they host a chamber music concert there everyday, which is AMAZING!

One thing about walking in the center of Prague was that there were a lot of people out in the street handing out advertisements and trying to sell tickets to classical music concerts. There were multiple concerts happening every night we were there. It was great to see that there is such a big music scene alive somewhere.

We had dinner at what seemed to be the Czech version of the restaurant "Islands" (good food , though), and then went to look for a fountain show that the bartender at the jazz club told us about. We walked for a while, and the neighborhood got more and more shady... when we got there, the place was closed up and looked pretty rundown. It seemed to be a fairly bad area so we left pretty quickly.
