I've been traveling around Europe for the last couple of weeks, evangelizing blogging to the various Sun engineering offices here. Last weekend landed me in Prague, which is one of my favorite places. Prague looks like Europe used to, before WWII bombing. It also clearly shows how much of Disneyland and Disney entertainment generally was simply copied from Old European sources (a face which my friend Larry Lessig pointed out in his OSCon 2002 speech - there's a wonderful Flash file of here

So anyway, I had a weekend to spend in Prague and a traveling companion who actually likes to hike around and just look at stuff (a rare thing). Here are a couple of pictures from our walkabout. First a picture of the Charles Bridge (and surrounding neighborhoods). This was taken from the top of the South Tower, St. Vytas Cathedral.

Here is a picture of my friend and this trip's traveling companion, Chris Cheline, who works with me in the Open Source Programs Office. Notice the beautiful Vltava river over his shoulder.

And finally here is a picture of yours truly "in the Looking Glass"...enjoying the great little Mirror Maze built in the 19th century by the Prague Visitors Association
