Day 22, May 19, 2018.  Saturday.
A morning stroll through Prague with Rosemary doing some shopping.  We went to Havelska Market which was full of souvenir shops, one after another and all of them the same.  Also a number of fruit stands but each one was the same as all others.  A bit disappointing that there was not a better variety of goodies to eat.  We visited the Mucha Museum which contained a good history of Alfons Mucha and many of his beautiful original works.  I consider it a must see even though it is not large and only takes abut 90 minutes to see it.  Lunch at Zebra Asian Noodles was very good where we shared green curry and an order of noodles with shiitake mushrooms and supposedly beef.  We also order a side of grilled vegetables which have been somewhat lacking in our European eating.  More strolling through Prague and we came upon an Auto Club antique car and motorbike festival with a brass band included.  Many old cars whose brands I had never heard of.  Some bizarre cars including a 3 wheeler made of fabric.  A stop by the Jerusalem Synagogue was worthwhile to see the beautiful exterior even though it was closed for the Sabbath.  After a stop for gelato, it was back to the room for a little rest.  Dinner was an 8 minute walk to Pivo & Basilico where we had pizza and I had another Pilsner Urquell.  After all “pivo” is Czech for beer.
