YCGL - Day 3 - April 5, 2025 - If It's Saturday, It Must Be Shabbot

 The way my cruise schedule worked, Thursday, Day 1, is the day we arrived in Prague.  Friday, Day 2, is when we had our walking tour of Prague, which I really enjoyed.  Today, Day 3, is the day we had on our own to take other tours, sleep or site-see on our own.  I was planning to do Rick Steve's Jewish Prague walk.  In fact, last night after the opera when I walked back to OldTown, I located the first and last Synagogues on the tour.  Except Day 3 is Saturday, or Shabbot, the Jewish Day of Rest.  And guess what, Jewish Synagogues and Cemeteries are CLOSED on Saturdays.  Kinda changed that decision.  

When I realized that, i decided to work on the blog in the morning.  I had all kinds of problems with my cell phone network and loading pictures from my phone to my computer.  To the extent that I ended up losing several hours of writing about the Friday tour.....I will get back to it.  

I initially felt good enough to walk the two kilometers into that Jewish section of town, but by the time I left, I took a Bolt (like an Uber or Lyft) into town instead. I decided I could at least follow the intent of the tour even if I couldn't enter the buildings.  I got dropped off at the Maisel Synagogue.
