Wenceslas Day: Long Weekend Day 1

I didn't have class this Monday, 9/27, or Tuesday, 9/28, because of Wenceslas Day or Czech Statehood Day. This commemorates St. Wenceslas, the patron saint of the Czech people and the Czech Republic, who was killed in September of 929 or 935.

It was nice to have some recovery time after the weekend in Munich, and also to explore a little more of Prague. In the afternoon, I met up with Laura and we shopped around Wenceslas Square and the local Palladium Mall. I had never been to this mall, even though it was surprisingly close by.

Afterward, I met up with Brandy and some others at a jazz club called Ungelt. The band that night was the Luboš Andršt Blues Band. The band was composed of 4 members who were on the electric guitar, vocal + hammond organ, bass guitar, and drums, respectively. They put on a good show. This country sure does love their jazz!
