Monday evening pics - National Student Day/Velvet Revolution

My walk back to the metro after a nice evening out with Liam and Petra. Dinner at Red Hot Blues and drinks at George & the Dragon... and American Tex-Mex restaurant run by the Kid's best friend's Mom and an English bar. Both were enjoyable... the restaurant tops the bar though!




Monday was actually a very important day in Czech history. It's the day the students stood up to the Nazis, back in the 30's - and they were promtply destroyed, and the day, 19 years ago, the students again took a stand and brought about the fall of communism.

This year there were some memorials celebrations and stuff, as well as a protest. They seem to have a monthly protest in Prague against the impending construction of the US radar. Here someone was kind enough to leave some instructions in case things got out of hand:
