The view from Petrin Hill

Today is Czech Statehood Day, which commemorates the patron saint of the Czech people, Saint Wenceslaus, aka Good King Wenceslaus. The Good King was Duke of Bohemia until his younger brother had him murdered on his way to a religious feast in 935, which also happens to be the last year the Jets won the Super Bowl.

A handful of teachers at Akcent-IH chose to gather for a picnic at Petrin Hill. This wasn't a full-on sightseeing day, just a chance to find a spot where we could overlook the "City of a Thousand Spires" (it's true; I counted) and relax.

One can walk up Petrin Hill, but it's rather steep so the seven of us (six teachers and Baldy) rode the tram to the top. Then we walked down until we found a green spot we liked, which happened to be a five-minute walk to the tram station at the bottom of the hill. Anyway, some pics:
