the view along the Vtlava River  
     

Fred and Ginger .. The Vltava River was lined with incredible Art Nouveau apartment blocks.... However, I headed towards a modern building designed by the California architect Frank Gerhy called "Fred and Ginger"...It really looked like two buildings that were dancing. In the guide books it looked funky and fun...And, one author thought it was a welcome surprise in historic Prague...However, as I walked along the magnificent Art Nouveau buildings leading up to F&G, I couldn't help but think they were in the wrong neighborhood.
