November 17th

November 17th is an important day in Czech History.  In 1939 there were student demonstrations against the Nazis and in 1989 it was the start of the Velvet Revolution which ultimately ended communism in the country.  The demonstrations started near Narodni Divadlo, so the roads are closed on the day and people can put candles for those who lost their lives.  This year there were a lot more tents and people walking around because the last two years were difficult with covid restrictions. After walking around the important areas, we went to a nice Czech restaurant for dinner.  We had to make a reservation and when we walked into the place we saw that ALL the tables were reserved!!!  Our meals were delicious and we will definitely go back.
