Prague has always been a city of mystery, being one of the oldest cities in Europe. It was a Roman outpost during their times but it had been here hundreds of years before that. It was interesting to hear the “dirt” from our local guide, who probably shared more than she was supposed to…. We learned of the corruption and scandal that this young democracy is floundering in. The leaders seem to think that election is a license to steal. It’s sad that they are learning the worst lessons and missing the best from what they could learn from our American Experiment. The recently elected president, who she liked, wound up with a project funded at double what it really cost …. It’s unclear if he’ll survive the answers to the questions…. (We found the same thing in Hungary, also recently released from the grip of totalitarian rule. See last summer’s blog)
