It was only known as this for the first few centuries and was later renamed the Charles Bridge after the Czech King, Charles IV. |

The Praha Cross... |

|
|
|
This is one hot set of wheels |
|
Brian spotted this car from the top of an old church tower we were looking off of and insisted he go get a picture of it. Actually he wanted to steel it but we thought better of it :) |

Back of the Cathedral... |
|
The back of the church was much easier to take a picture of since the front of it was only about 25 feet from the castle wall. |
