Luggage has arrived and all is well.

Last night was our Medieval Dinner.  Interesting.  Surprisingly good food (I don’t think I’ve ever had pig knuckles before!).  Fun entertainment, but not sure how “medieval” it was. Our guides met our group (about 20 people) at the end of the Charles Bridge. I’m not sure why we couldn’t just meet at the restaurant but it was sort of like a tour – in fact, everybody we saw in the restaurant was clearly a part of a tour.  We hiked vigorously together to the restaurant – – down alleys, up streets, across bridge, around corners – – for about 20 minutes.  Then we went down into this underground dungeon-like restaurant.  It was very dark inside, mostly candlelit, and there appeared to be many rooms down dark hallways in this cavernous restaurant.  Our room had about 8 picnic-style tables for 6-8 people each.  We shared a table with a couple from Liverpool, a couple from Barcelona, and a woman and her 20-something daughter originally from Brooklyn who had moved to Ireland a few years ago and bought a small farm.  It was a fun, international table.  The only strange thing was that after it was over, they didn’t take us back to our meeting point.  Since we had just arrived and were not yet familiar with the neighborhood, we certainly had an interesting time finding our way back to our hotel!

It was hard to take photos in the venue because it was so dark, but these few to give you an idea.
