One of our favorite places in Prague is at the top of Petrin Hill. Our name for the place is The Secret Garden. It is in a sunken area on top of Petrin Hill, not far from Prague's Eiffel Tower. While we were walking around the garden we suddenly heard our names being called and there were two of the students from school also enjoying this beautiful spot. We made some pictures of the two of them since they had no camera and will share with you two lovely friends who made our time in Prague more enjoyable than ever before.

We didn't count how many different kinds of flowers were blooming but there were at least 50 or 60 that day. No matter which month you visit the garden from April through October, you will be surprised with loveliness.

Nancy and E. were pleased at their first meeting to discover both are sign language interpreters. E. had learned from young children. She opened a school for them where there had been none before.

We enjoy the beauty of the old trees in the small garden. See the sweet ladies enjoying it too?

A garden like this can be a meditation spot for more than surface beauty. Don't miss it if you travel in Prague. Up on Petrin Hill on the funicular, turn left, walk past the observatory, to your left down a small side street. (To the left of the rose garden).
