Munich to Prague - or Praha as it is here

I decided to listen to David Siegels presentation on market segmentation - or how the marketing department may not know what they are getting with all these analytic analyses. I am typing on a Czech keyboard. The z is where the y is on a QWERTY keyboard, but it is typing a y. I cannot figure out how to get an at symbol - or quotes or an apostrophe for that matter. I see them on the keyboard, but cant find the keys. The at symbol is on the v key.

Anyway, we got the car - a Citroen - with a TomTom and diesel, and managed to leave town at about noon. It was a nice day and we had a good drive to Prague. When we got here the GPS wanted us to turn right, but there is a lot of construction and the right was not allowed. It eventually figured out another route and got us here. Lida - our landlady, ended up parking her car and taking a tram to get here. Crazy traffic. The Czech countryside is very pretty - mostly farmland.

We are staying in a 2 room apartment in the old town. Lida is really nice and pointed out where to find an exchange and the grocery store and a couple of restaurants. After the long day, we ended up grabbing a pizza. Czech food tomorrow night. Weather is calling for rain, but we are hoping it will be intermittent.

The old town square is very cool and the architecture seems more consistent here than in Munich, or even Vienna. Ill get some pics up tomorrow - probably with my own computer so I can use the right keys! Aha - found the " key - uppercase 2. And the '. Whoopee!  : - )
