Apr. 30th, 2006 11:41 pmCarrie was back in town today! So after lunch, she, Matthias and I decided to climb the Radnice tower in Staromestska, the better to view the Prague! As it happened, we were up there right in time to see the crowds descend to watch the Astronomical Clock. It was pretty impressive, watching all the tourists congregate.
Carrie: Isn't it time yet? I want to see them all look up!
me: I can hear it chiming! Oh look! Sparkly flashes! I don't think they'll help -- it's sunny out.
Carrie: The clock isn't even that exciting to watch. Silly tourists.
(on the way down)
Carrie: Look, no one's climbing up now. They're all watching the stupid clock!
me: Carrie! This is a World Heritage Site! It's not stupid!
(I just learned that today when we read it on a placard outside the town hall!)
