My initial flight on the afternoon of May 17 was from San Francisco to Seattle. Here at Sea-Tac, I waited to board my flight for Amsterdam. Mount Rainier looms in the background. My 11.5 hour flight from Seattle to Amsterdam was made more tolerable by the fact the plane was only half full.<br />

Catching the proper train from the Amsterdam airport to the main train station in central Amsterdam proved way more confusing than I had expected, maybe because I was operating on about 1 hour of sleep in the past 24 hours. I arrived here at the Neo-Gothic Central Station just before 2:00 pm on May 18.<br />

I was determined not to make the same mistake I've made on previous trips to Europe and take an afternoon nap upon arrival. Instead, I forced myself to walk around the city for the rest of the afternoon and evening. It rained for a short time in the afternoon, and then there was an intense short downpour with an early evening thunderstorm, but otherwise the weather was fine. I walked through the Jordaan Neighborhood, where my rental was located, and admired the canals.<br />

In the evening I walked over to the "Red Light District" - the neighborhood famous for its legal prostitution on full display. I was expecting this to be a run-down and scummy section of the city, but it became obvious to me pretty quickly that there is no such thing as run-down or scummy in Amsterdam. The entire city is clean and well maintained. In fact, the Red Light District was every bit as scenic and clean as the rest of the city. And instead of drug dealers and homeless people, I mostly saw tourists.<br />

On the right is the "Old Church". This was the medieval city's original church, constructed over about 300 years, starting around 1300. Ironically, this church now sits in the center of the Red Light District.<br />

During the late morning I toured the Anne Frank House, which was located just a few blocks from my apartment rental. The tour was very informative and moving. Photos were not allowed during the tour through the house, but I was able to take a photo while having lunch here in the museum's cafe. That's a photo of Anne Frank on the wall.<br />

Vincent van Gogh, "Self-Portrait with Straw Hat", 1887. I toured the Van Gogh Museum during the evening since my guidebook informed me that crowds would be lighter then. The museum was packed. I was scolded by a museum employee for taking this photo. The other museums in Amsterdam allowed photos, but not the Van Gogh.<br />

It was a fine warm evening as I took a leisurely stroll back from the museums. Here is moonrise at the Mint Tower. The Mint Tower marks the location of the limit of the old walled city, and severed as one of its original gates.<br />

I took a late afternoon and early evening stroll into the western portion of Berlin (my apartment rental was in what was formerly East Berlin). Here is my first view of the imposing Reichstag, Germany's Parliament Building.<br />

After figuring out the Berlin subway, I made a journey to the far western portion of Berlin to check out a couple of museums. One was Museum Berggreun, which had this cool spiral staircase.<br />

I returned to the central part of Berlin in the afternoon to tour the Berlin Wall Memorial. During my senior year in high school I wrote a term paper on Berlin during the time when the city was first divided between east and west. Ever since I've had an interest in Berlin history and this memorial was fascinating. Most of the wall was torn down in the 90s when the city was reunified. Here is one of the last remaining intact sections of the wall.<br />

Prior to sunset, I walked through the huge Tiergarten Park (sort of like New York's Central Park) and stopped to take photos of the Tiergarten's centerpiece: Victory Column. Barak Obama gave a speech here when he was running for President in 2008. This was a long day with a lot of walking. My fitbit told me I walked 14 miles on this day!</div>

For much of the day I took in the sights along Unter den Linden, the street that runs from the Brandenburg Gate eastward to Alexanderplatz. One of my stops was here at the Neue Wache (New Guardhouse) which holds the nation's main memorial to all "victims of war and tyranny." <br />

At the center of the memorial is this statue called, "Mother with Her Dead Son." It marks the tombs of Germany's unknown soldier and an unknown concentration camp survivor. <br />

Near the Alexanderplatz is the very tall TV tower (Fernsehturm). It was built in East Berlin in 1969 for the 20th anniversary of the communist government.<br />

One of the first things I did upon arriving in Berlin was secure a ticket for a tour of the Reichstag (German Parliament Building) for my final evening in Berlin. By the time I arrived for my evening tour, the sky was beginning to look menacing.<br />

If you look closely, you can see the purple chairs in the chamber below. That chamber houses the Bundestag, the German equivalent of the U.S. House of Representatives.<br />

One final photo from the roof of the Reichstag. This is looking south towards the lush green Tiergarten to the right and the Brandenburg Gate (brightly lit structure at center). By the time I finished my tour of the Reichstag, lightning was flashing in the distance.<br />

The journey to Prague didn't go quite as planned. Thunderstorms rolled through Germany the night before (including a doozy in Berlin late in the evening). The storms caused a landslide onto the rail tracks in southern Germany, near the Czech border. So my train trip from Berlin ended in Dresden, Germany, instead of Prague. In Dresden everyone on the train was herded onto buses. We were then bussed about 30 miles into the northern part of the Czech Republic where we caught another train that took us the rest of the way to Prague. The amazing thing was that we ended up arriving in Prague exactly on time! I was impressed.<br />
The weather in Prague upon my arrival on the afternoon of May 24 was gloomy when I took this panorama shot from my apartment's window.<br />

Prague's Old Town Square: It rained lightly for much of the late afternoon, but by early evening the rain had ended. I didn't know it at the time, but this was about as empty I would ever see Old Town Square. For the rest of my time here, Old Time Square was packed with tourists. This panorama shows about half of the square's periphery.</div>

I started a busy day on May 25 with a visit to the Jewish Quarter in Old Town. This is the exterior of the Maisel Synagogue.<br />

The second synagogue I toured was the Pinkas Synagogue. The interior walls of the Pinkas are inscribed with the the handwritten names of 77,297 Czech Jews sent to the gas chambers at Auschwitz and other camps.<br />

From 1439 to 1787, this was the only burial ground allowed for the Jews of Prague. Over time, the graves had to be piled on top of each other, layered seven or eight deep, so there are actually closer to 85,000 dead buried here.<br />

Graves were never relocated because of the Jewish belief that, once buried, a body should not be moved. Layer by layer, the cemetery grew into a small plateau.<br />

<span style="text-align: left;">A bit farther up the hill beyond the Castle Complex is the Strahov Monastery. I didn't walk up here necessarily to see the monastery, but rather to take in the amazing view of Old Town Prague with the castle above. This is my favorite photo from the trip. The weather had been gloomy all day up until this point. But now, late in the afternoon, the sun broke out and it was beautiful.</span></div>

I continued walking through a lush green park to the top of Petrin Hill and Petrin Tower, a small replica of the Eiffel Tower. The 200-foot-tall Petrin Tower is only one-fifth the height of the Eiffel Tower. But thanks to the hill it sits upon, the top of the tower is the same height above Prague as the Eiffel Tower is above Paris.<br />

Of course, I paid the small fee to climb the tower and was rewarded with some amazing views of the city below.<br />

There are towers on either end of the Charles Bridge. I climbed the stairs to the top of the tower on the Little Quarter side of the bridge and enjoyed this amazing view of the bridge stretching out across the Vltava River and into Old Town on the far side.<br />

After dinner on Old Town Square, I walked back to my rental, past the Powder Tower. This tower served as a guidepost as I navigated the confusing streets of Prague.<br />
This turn out to be yet another big day for walking - 14 miles and slightly more steps than a few days earlier in Berlin.</div>

On the morning of May 26, my final full day in Prague, I crossed the Vltava River into the northern part of Prague to visit the National Gallery at Veletrzni "Palace", an art museum that houses Slav Epic. In front of the museum was a collection of Chinese zodiac sculptures, including this snake (since I was born in 1965, year of the snake).<br />

The highlight of the museum is Czech artist Alfons Mucha's "Slav Epic" - a series of 20 huge paintings that depict the history of the Slav people. This is a small section of panel 1: "The Slavs in the Original Homeland," painted in 1912.<br />

It was interesting to walk through the neighborhood in which the museum resides. Unlike the central portion of Prague in and around "Old Town," this part of Prague was virtually free of tourists and therefore felt more authentic Czech to me.<br />

Wenceslas Square was where important political protests occurred, including one that the Soviet Union crushed with military force in 1968. More recently, this is where the "Velvet Revolution" occurred in 1989, that helped create the modern nation of the Czech Republic.<br />
