Nymburk You found a jewel. My studio is between Prague and Nymburk. I am an American. 20 year resident in CR, and my wife (Czech) and I continue to find places like this. Police, in Moravia still has all of its walls. Thank you for getting off of the beaten track. Norman

Been there too!! Hi!
My husband and I spent 15 years (after the Revolution) living and working in the Czech Republic. He is a Lutheran minister, so the Betlems immediately captured my attention as well. Other references to the real meaning of Christmas were highly discouraged under Communism, but these were allowed as part of Czech artistic culture. I have see n so many amazing ones and began to collect them - buying one or more in each village, museum, outdoor market, gift shop, etc. that I would find. I also bought them when we traveled to other countries on vacation. I have some wonderful wooden, ceramic, cornhusk, straw, paper and glass Betlems. I have been asked to display as many as I can for a Christmas stroll in Dec. in a town near where we live. When I have more time, I will send you photos of some of mine. I also have one printed on cardstock that requires construction and I have never gotten to it. I have the cookie cutters to make one of gingerbread which is so much fun - I will begin making a new one soon. Glad to have seen your article!

The Castle I really enjoyed that. Castles are so interesting, amazing how they were made
with man power. So glad some are preserved so we can still see them.
Thanks for sharing. When are you going back?
Tallinn Puppets I LOVE THEM! These puppets are great! The Lord has blessed both of you, how exciting to see and be a part of so many different things BLESSED!
I did as told to scroll down, but nothing came up. Let's do dinner sometime in August or anytime for that matter. Let's do dinner soon. I am free most days.
By car is cheaper (even with a car hire) I would recommend you to hire a car and go. It's cheaper and the freedom is a great advantage.

I was in 2004 at these place!!! In 2004 I made a bustrip to Prague, Budapest and Vienna!!
In Prague I was at the place where Jan Palach put himself on fire in 1969!!
It was at Wenceslassquare!! How tragic???
great photos! Thanks once again for such great photos. It was really cool to see these works of art up close and personal. Makes me feel like I was there with you.
I like the color in all but the clock. For some reason I like the symbolism of the black and white on the clocks.
Of course, you can take them in color then convert them if you choose to and various shades in between as well.
We are retired librarians. Nancy worked for the Board of Education and Bill operated a one person engineering library for a communications company. Travel has been one of our passions our entire marriage.
Originally we thought this blog would report only on our trip to Prague. However, we have decided to add entries and photos previous trips. We hope you enjoy them.
