St. Vitus' Cathedral

We visited the Cathedral by the castle in Prague! I watched a "Samantha Brown" show on the Travel Channel about Prague before I came abroad. This cathedral was mentioned. It was beautiful! I couldn't believe that I was going to see it in person! The cathedral took 600 years to complete! It was begun in 1344 and was not completed until 1929! Wow! It was absolutely breathtaking!
Speaking of taking your breath away, we walked up the tower (287 steps) to get a beautiful view of Prague! 287 seems like a manageable number.. IT'S NOT! We were in a two lane, 5 foot wide, winding tower. Constantly making circles until we got to the top. I thought for sure I was going to pass out! We had to keep walking to keep the flow up, but it was all kinds of awful! The view when we got to the top was worth it though!
The pic of the guy's face is from inside the cathedral. I was taking a picture and he came up and told me (I think) that pictures weren't allowed... Right... Please tell me and the other three hundred people in this cathedral with cameras. So I took a picture of his face... ;)
